Summary

Bluestones One supported Sainsbury’s in their 10th new supermarket this year, supplying skilled teams for merchandising, managing equipment, and pricing.

The 29,000 sqft building is a great investment into the economy of the North East. The new supermarket included the opening of Argos, TU, a full food range, fresh produce, and much more.

Challenges

There was collaborative working with store colleagues, shop fitters, and the project management team to ensure a smooth handover to the Store Manager for opening day. Bluestones One received glowing reports from all stakeholders for the delivery of the project!
