A huge two-storey Iceland supermarket will open inside a former Argos unit next week.

The Food Warehouse is moving into Ashford Retail Park in Sevington after work started on converting the site in January.

Creating 30 jobs, the shop will be the sixth Food Warehouse in Kent – a brand launched by frozen-food chain Iceland in 2014.

Its stores are larger than the discounter’s core outlets and stock a wider range of frozen goods.

The shop will open at 8am on Tuesday (April 16), and staff will give out Iceland vouchers to the first 100 customers in the queue.

The store, which will feature a mezzanine floor, will open from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday.

On Sundays, it will open between 10am and 4pm.

Iceland currently has a store in Ashford high street and a freezer section inside The Range – the former John Lewis – in Fougeres Way.

Argos left the retail park in August 2022 as part of the company's plans to reduce the number of standalone shops it has across the UK.

The move followed the closure of the town centre Argos in New Rents in 2018.
