A new Tesco Express store has officially opened close to Haymarket Station.
The West End shop will reportedly provide a £60,000 boost to the local community and will be open seven days a week from 6am-11pm, with the supermarket giant taking on 14 new staff members.
The store at Haymarket Square features a Costa Coffee machine, InPost delivery service, national lottery machine and an in-store bakery producing fresh goods.
Johnny Hunter, Store Manager at Tesco Haymarket Square, said: 'We're thrilled to finally open our doors and serve the people of Edinburgh. Located just steps away from Haymarket Station, we're the ideal location for the thousands of workers, tourists and visitors coming and going through our beautiful city every day.
Johnny added: 'Whether you need an on-the-go breakfast to start the day, or some last-minute ingredients for dinner on the way home, our store has all the essentials, and we're looking forward to meeting so many new faces who will hopefully become regulars.'
