This second Ipswich store, following on from the success of the first supermarket at Euro Retail Park, in east Ipswich, brings another 10,330 sq ft store to the town.

The supermarket is at the Suffolk Retail Park, off London Road, and closer to the town centre.

It opened its doors today, creating 30 new jobs, and offering seven-days a week shopping.

The Food Warehouse promised wholesale shopping without a membership scheme, such as at a cash-and-carry operation.

Also nearby on the retail park are Argos, Halfords and Next.

Suffolk Retail Park is off London Road and close to the Yarmouth Road/Handford Road junction.
