A new supermarket has opened its doors in South Gloucestershire.
Sainsbury's opened to the public in Lyde Green this morning and will offer residents a range of grocery products and fresh foods.
The 4,024 sq ft convenience store has created 24 new jobs and will play an active role in the local community, according to a spokesperson.
It offers a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy products, an in-store bakery and other convenience products.
It also has its own car park for customers to use.
Local residents only had a small bakery in the village to buy their food items from before the launch, however nearby Emerson's Green is home to a huge Sainsbury's superstore.
Jamie Ahearne, Sainsbury’s Lyde Green local store manager, said: "We are delighted to be opening a brand new Local store in Bristol, providing residents and shoppers with a convenient place to pick up their favourite grocery products at great value.
"The new store looks fantastic and we have a great team of colleagues who are really excited to welcome and serve customers."
A spokesperson added the shop will 'support a local charity and Sainsbury’s nationwide community programmes and charity partners'.
The store, which is located in Thistle Close, BS16 7GW, will be open daily from 7am until 11pm.
