THE new Morrisons store in the Arcadia Centre, Ealing Broadway, opens next Monday with the creation of 185 jobs. Of those taken on, 147 were previously unemployed.
The store has staff trained in butchery, fishmongery, bakery and flower arranging. Customers will be able to see bakers kneading dough at the front of the bakery and butchers making sausages fresh on the counter. The store will stock everything from carrots to tinkerbell peppers and yellow courgettes.
It features a continental-style deli counter, 140 cuts of meat and more than 80 cheeses from the UK and around the world.
At the bakery, there will be up to 48 varieties of bread, baked fresh throughout the day.
Customers can also expect to find a café with moveable seating to allow buggies to be wheeled up to tables, free wi-fi areas and Barrista Plus coffee machines with free refills.
Store general manager Phil Palmer said: “We want to create an experience that is different from other supermarkets.”
