New Tesco Express store opens in Llantarnam, Cwmbran
Located at Unit 1, Llantarnam District Centre in Cwmbran, the store has welcomed its first customers with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and community celebration.
The opening was attended by local residents Melanie Fry and her son Kieron, who were the store's first customers.
Kieron was given the honour of cutting the ribbon.
Owen Westwood, Tesco Express store manager, said: "We are absolutely thrilled to open our new Tesco Express and begin serving the Llantarnam community.
"The store offers a wide range of fresh produce, convenient meal deals, and tasty bakery items.
"We're also overjoyed to welcome eight new colleagues to the store team.
"Building strong ties with Llantarnam is central to our vision, and it's important to us that nine of our team members are local to the village.
"We are proud to be part of the Tesco Stronger Starts grant scheme, supporting local schools and helping to promote the health and wellbeing of children in the community."
The store donated £500 to Kindness in the Community – Llantarnam Food Bank and will participate in the Community Food Connection scheme, which redistributes surplus food to local charities at the end of each day.
