THE biggest supermarket in Nelson is having a £250,000 face-lift.

The new-look Food Giant store in Leeds Road opens with a re-launch on Tuesday, April 21.

Store manager Ken Thomas, a member of the Nelson Town Centre Forum, says the investment comes at a time when many other retailers are relocating out of the area.

He said: "As a member of the Forum I am delighted that we are continuing to invest in providing Nelson shoppers with choice and value on their doorsteps."

The extensive work on the store means it will be closed on Sunday, April 13.
