New Tesco store could open in Crawley town centre

A planning application to install signage at 17 The Martletts – former home of Topshop and Topman – has been submitted to Crawley Borough Council.

The news comes seven months after Sainsbury’s closed its Queensway store.

A Tesco spokesman said: “We’re always looking for better ways to serve our customers and we hope to open a new Express store in The Martletts Shopping Centre in the near future.”

Last month, the supermarket chain announced it would be opening another Express store in a former Topshop unit in Horsham.
