Disney Heroes card swap shops coming to Sainsbury's this weekend

Sainsbury's Disney Heroes cards have been a massive hit with kids this summer eager to complete their collections.

Well now the retailer is giving them a helping hand by holding swap shops in stores this weekend for youngsters to trade their cards.

Children have been collecting the cards, themed around Disney, Pixar, Star Wars and Marvel, with shoppers given a packet of them for every £10 spent.

But with a whopping 144 to collect, many have got spaces left to fill and with the cards no longer available in stores, they've been struggling to finish their albums.

The swap shops will take place in the cafes of 39 stores across the region this Saturday, October 5 and Sunday, October 6.

Greater Manchester ones include Urmston, Denton, Fallowfield, Heaton Park, Oldham, Leigh, Sale, Cheadle, Wigan, Salford, Hazel Grove and Ashton Moss.

You don't need tickets for the event so you can just drop in from around 7am to 7pm, although some store times may differ.

Mark Given, chief marketing officer at Sainsbury’s, said: “This summer we’ve seen children get really excited for the Disney Heroes collectors’ cards and album.

“Now that the partnership is coming to an end, we’ve become aware that there are still lots of kids hoping to complete their collection, which is why we’ve launched ‘swap shops’ in over 300 stores across the country – including 39 stores in the north west.

"These will give little collectors one last chance to trade with friends and hopefully get them all.”
