As previously reported, the supermarket revealed plans to move to the high street building in February after initially wanting to move into the former Laura Ashley store. 

Newport’s Tesco Express is open from 6am to 11pm daily, including weekends.

Speaking to the County Press last month, a spokesperson for Tesco said: "We’re always looking for the best ways to serve local communities and are excited to be opening a new Tesco Express store in Newport on the Isle of Wight."
