And applies for licence for superstore coming to Townmead Road

Supermarket giant Sainsbury's has opened its newest Fulham store in Wandsworth Bridge Road and applied for a licence for its superstore due to open this spring half a mile away in Townmead Road.

The new local store, at 132 Wandsworth Bridge Road has been opened this morning, January 30 with a ribbon cutting ceremony performed by representatives of Stoll, which has been chosen as the store's local charity partner.

Stoll, based at the Oswald Stoll Foundation on Fulham Road, provides housing and support for vulnerable and disabled ex-servicemen and women.

This site also includes nine two bedroom apartments built above the store. The Riverton Apartments are now for sale through estate agent Hamptons, priced around £730,000.

Sainsbury's has also submitted a licence application for the superstore which will be at the heart of the Fulham Wharf development on Townmead Road, and this application is now open for consultation. Local residents are invited to comment on the application on the H&F Council website.

A spokesman for the supermarket says an announcement will be made in the next few weeks about recruitment and an opening date for the new superstore, which will replace the current smaller supermarket on the riverside site.
