Convenience development

Sainsburys Local Store

Convenience development

We are actively pursuing new sites to expand our convenience store portfolio across the UK. We have one of the strongest covenants in the marketplace and a strong track record of working in partnership with agents, developers and landlords to open new stores.

Sainsbury's has immediate requirements for new convenience stores across the UK. We have a flexible approach and will consider all types of properties and locations. Our requirements include:

Flexible requirements

We are looking for properties that offer between 2,500 sq ft and 4,500 sq ft gross.  The backup and sales area can be split over two floors, though we do require a minimum of 2,000 sq ft at grade.

We would acquire both Freehold and Leasehold properties, offering a 15 year lease with a break at year 10.  Parking is not an essential requirement.

All types of properties considered from:

  • Existing properties, which can be used or converted to retail use
  • New and mixed use developments
  • Redevelopments
  • PFS sites
  • Pub conversions

All types of locations are considered from:

  • Busy urban high streets
  • Neighbourhood or local centres with good residential catchments
  • Main roads
  • Out facing shopping centres
  • Transport hubs

Store portfolio

We operate a range of store formats that have been designed to meet with specific customer requirements and locations.
