Sainsbury’s opens new site at York railway station

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Sainsbury’s has announced the opening of its newest store, located in York railway station. 

The group said the store will offer customers a “wide range” of grocery and household products as well as a self-service Costa coffee machine. 

The store is the second Sainsbury’s Local to open in York this year, following the opening of York Davygate Local in March.

Sainsbury’s also said it is “committed” to supporting its communities and the 30 colleagues that make up the York railway station team will play an “active role” in the local area and support Sainsbury’s nationwide community programmes and charity partners. 

Charities in the area that Sainsbury’s has recently supported include Changing Lives, SASH (Safe and Sound Homes) and IDAS (Independent Domestic Abuse Services).

Patrick Dunne, property director at Sainsbury’s, said: “I’m really delighted that we are opening our second new store in York this year in this long sought-after location for Sainsbury’s. 

“It means that not only local residents, but those travelling to and from the city by rail, will be able to enjoy the convenience, quality and value that Sainsbury’s has to offer.”
