The Food Warehouse Store to Open in Syston, Leicester

Iceland Foods has announced it will be opening the doors to a brand-new The Food Warehouse store in Syston, Leicester this May, expanding its product offering and giving local residents an-all new shopping experience in the process.

The store will be situated on Melton Road and will officially open to the public on Tuesday 21st May, bringing an estimated 29 additional jobs to the local community.

To celebrate the store opening, Iceland will be giving away £1,000 worth of Iceland vouchers to the first 100 customers in the queue, plus a 1.2kg tub of Jellybeans to the first 200 customers through the checkouts.

With 4 Iceland stores already located in Leicester, the launch of a new The Food Warehouse store in the area will ensure that even more local residents have access to market-leading deals and big-brand products.

The Food Warehouse was introduced in 2014, with stores often double the size of traditional Iceland stores, offering a much larger range of goods, and bigger packs for even better value. The stores are designed to look like a warehouse, with wide shopping aisles and large spaces – offering the perfect environment for customers to buy their favourite products.

For one day only, The Food Warehouse in Leicester will have seven magnificent deals available to customers across the store. Anyone attending on opening day can make the most of the following one-off deals:

  • Pepsi Max Cans – 24 pack, £7.00 – was £10
  • Velvet Classic Quilted Toilet Tissue – 24 pack, £5.00 – was £8.50
  • Yorkshire Tea bags – 210 pack, £4.00 – was £5.25
  • Pot Noodles – Any 12 for £8 – was £10
  • Carling Original – 18 pack, £15.50 – was £12
  • Surf Laundry Powder Tropical Lily – 4kg, £9 – was £11
  • Cadbury’s Multipack Chocolate Bars – 9 pack for £2 – was £2.75

And the fun doesn’t stop there, every customer in the queue before 7:45am on the 21st of May will also be given a raffle ticket which will see them entered into a free prize draw.

Three lucky winners will be drawn and given the chance to take part in a supermarket sweep-style challenge where they’ll each have the entire store to themselves for 90 seconds and will get to fill their trolley with whatever they’d like.

Additional prizes up for grabs include x2 NutriPro Blenders, x3 JML household essential hampers and x2 Tower 4 Litre Air Fryers.

Customers are also invited to guess how many sweets are in the jar for a chance to win a free Daewoo Air Fryer.

Kristian Barrett, Group Retail Director at Iceland Foods, said: “We’re very excited to be opening our new Leicester store, ensuring even more local residents can get their hands on market-leading deals, alongside a brilliant range of frozen, grocery and fresh foods.

We’re working hard to get everything set up and ready to go and we can’t wait to open our doors to the local community.”

The brand new The Food Warehouse store in Leicester will offer multi-buy offers, like 3 for £3, 3 for £5 and 3 for £10 deals, alongside exclusive Food Warehouse ranges, such as Slimming World, Cathedral City, TGI Fridays and more.  

The store opening also coincides with Iceland’s 10% discount for all customers over 60, available every Tuesday across stores. Customers can find out information about further offers from Iceland on the Bonus Card app.
