Some 24 jobs have been created in the Bulwell area of Nottingham with the opening of a new Heron Foods supermarket.

The shop, at 209 Highbury Road, will be the value retailer’s 13th outlet in Nottingham, further cementing its reputation as a community favourite.

Heron Foods will offer a wide range of chilled, ambient and frozen food products from the new Bulwell store – the latest of the retailer’s 331 shops throughout the North and Midlands.

A spokesperson from Heron Foods, said: “Heron Foods stores add to the local community so we’re delighted to have opened a store in Bulwell, and welcome customers through the doors ongoing.”

NG Chartered Surveyors, the property people, acted on behalf of a private landlord client on the deal

Charlotte Steggles, Associate Director at NG, said: “This deal is great news for Bulwell and shows that the High Street is very much alive and kicking in Nottingham.

“NG is passionate about our city centres – but we also realise that there is a thriving retail sector in the suburbs, where neighbourhood retail continues to provide a vital link for the communities it serves.

“We wish Heron Foods well with their new store. Whether you have a standalone asset on the High Street, or if it’s part of a wider shopping or leisure destination, NG can help you maximise your investment, so please do get in touch.”
