Sainsbury’s
Speculation is mounting about the future of the Sainsbury’s Local store on Beckfield Lane. Sources suggest that it may close towards the end of the summer.
The rumours have been reinforced by the recent decision by the company to close its Argos stores, make redundancies at its head office and close 10 large supermarkets and 110 local branches
Sainsbury’s has performed well during the pandemic recording an increase in sales of 8.5% last year.
The Supermarket was rebuffed by regulators in an attempt to merge with Asda 2 years ago.
Sainsbury’s operates 10 stores in York. The Beckfield Lane store is their only outlet in Acomb. The next nearest Sainsbury’s Local is in Blossom Street.
Lloyds Bank closing this week
Lloyds Bank confirmed recently that it would close its Front Street branch on 11th March (Thursday).
