SAINSBURY'S has announced plans to open a new store in a retail park.
The supermarket giant will bring a new Sainsbury's Local shop to the retail centre, which is currently being developed on Eaglesham Road in Jackton in South Lanarkshire.
Sainsbury’s is the first tenant to sign up for the new development, where it hopes to become the first grocery store to serve customers from within the nearby village.
The new shop will be open between 7am and 11pm and will offer the brand's ranges from fresh bread and cakes to fruit and veg, meat, fish and more.

The move will create around 15 local jobs.
David Pilbeam, Sainsbury’s director of acquisitions, capital projects and engineering, said: “We’re passionate about delicious food and we want to make it easier for customers to access it wherever we can, so we’re delighted to confirm our plans for a new Sainsbury’s store in Jackton.
"We hope our investment in the village, creating jobs and a convenient new place for people to shop locally, will benefit the community for years to come.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
