Sainsbury’s reassures Isle of Wight customers over plans for instore cafe

Customers of the Sainsbury’s cafe in Newport branch can be reassured that the cafe is not one of those planned for closure.

Yesterday (Tuesday) Sainsbury’s announced it would be closing 200 instore cafes across the country.

News OnTheWight got in touch with Sainsbury’s HQ to check whether the Island’s branch would be affected and they confirmed it was not included in those planned for closure.

Bold new plans
The move to close 200 cafes came as the supermarket chain announced bold new plans to transform its eat-in, takeaway and home delivery food and drink offer, following the successful trial of a new food hall format called The Restaurant Hub at its Selly Oak store in Birmingham (pictured).

Working with The Boparan Restaurant Group and Starbucks, Sainsbury’s plans to transform the eat-in, takeaway and home delivered hot food and drink offer in 250 of its supermarkets over the next three years.
