The store incorporates advanced lighting, waste recycling facilities, as well as heating and cooling systems.

Yaxley added: “This new environmentally friendly flagship store will boast an extensive range of fresh food, groceries, beers, wines and spirits, as well as an exciting range of F&F clothing, toys and homewares.

“Providing a totally new and enhanced type of shopping experience for customers in the area, we look forward to working with local suppliers and becoming a strong and vibrant part of the community.”

The retailer announced its plans to cease operations of its loss-making Tesco Direct business earlier this month.

Tesco Direct is a non-food e-commerce business selling a range of general merchandise such as technology, clothing, toys and homeware.
