'New concept' Iceland store twice the size of the high street versions will open later this year

A huge new Iceland shop twice the size of the high street supermarket stores is set to open later this year.

The location for the 'new concept' warehouse store has been confirmed for just over the Nottinghamshire border.

Heanor Retail Park will be home to the new retail giant's shop, The Food Warehouse, that will create 30 new jobs and carry a wider range of products.

In addition to the range of frozen, chilled and fresh food and groceries, customers can expect extended ranges of speciality frozen food, chilled meat and fresh produce, plus value bulk packs of grocery products and selected food-related electrical and homeware lines, DerbyshireLive reports.

The £75,000 store is due to open in October this year.

The Food Warehouse chain, which started with a single store in Stoke-on-Trent in September 2014, recently opened its 100th store in Blackpool and expects to open 30 new stores across the UK by March 2020.

An Iceland spokesman said: "We are Iceland's bigger little brother, bringing you free parking, exclusive products, bigger choice in food and homeware, bigger packs and even bigger deals, it's the bigger store giving you a great deal more!

"Don't stress. The Food Warehouse caters for everyone. We know that no two days are the same - The Food Warehouse has it covered. All stores are open until 8pm some even later! So if you are on your way home from a hard day at work and need that 'quick tea', or you have all the time in the world to do you 'weekly shop' we are there for you."
