Crawley town centre supermarket shuts

Sainsbury’s in Queensway is now shut, the supermarket giant confirmed today.

The retailer announced plans to close the store in September. In a statement, today, a spokesman for Sainsbury’s said: “Our Crawley store has now closed and we are doing everything we can to find alternative roles within Sainsbury’s for those affected.

“Customers can continue to shop with us at our nearby stores. For example, our West Green store is a short drive away.”

More than a year ago Sainsbury’s announced plans to close up to 15 supermarkets over the next two years while opening 10 new ones over the next five years.
