Supermarket chain Sainsbury\u2019s opened its 120,000 sq ft store at Blackpool\u2019s Talbot Gateway development, resulting in the creation of nearly 300 jobs. The store marked the completion of the first phase of the 25-acre project by Muse Developments. Constructed by Shepherd Construction and Barr Construction, the store offered 58,000 sq ft of retail space. Mike Horner, regional director at Muse Developments, noted that reaching this stage of the development and seeing Sainsbury\u2019s open to the public had been a significant milestone. He highlighted their close collaboration with Blackpool Council in delivering a high-quality project that revitalized the area around Blackpool North railway station. The striking design of the Sainsbury\u2019s store, he observed, completed a trio of new buildings around Bickerstaffe Square, which together indicated that Blackpool was undergoing positive change.<\/p>\n

Store manager Ian Collins remarked that this was a landmark store within an impressive new development, which was already having a positive impact on the local community.<\/p>\n\"\"\"\"\"\"\n\"\"\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
