New Sainsbury`s supermarket that never opened in Middlebrough, north east England. UK


Construction of a new Sainsbury`s supermarket and car park were completed around September 2015. The store has stood empty since completion without ever opening. Sainsbury`s said in August 2015) it was “no longer viable” to open the new flagship store. A Sainsbury’s spokesman said: “We have not taken this decision lightly and are very disappointed we are not able to open a new shop in Middlesbrough. “Since the proposals were first announced, shopping patterns have changed considerably and following a review, the scheme is no longer viable for us".
