A well-known food store has opened a branch in a Kent retail park.

The Food Warehouse - owned by frozen food company Iceland - has launched in Tonbridge.

The new 14,121 sq ft store opened its doors yesterday at 8am in Tonbridge Retail Park.

Launched seven years ago, The Food Warehouse now has more than 150 stores across Britain.

It is now the 5th store in Kent, following branches in Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Broadstairs and Dover.

The food shop is set to create 22 new jobs.

To celebrate the opening, bosses gave away a total of £1,000 in vouchers to the first 100 customers through the door - ready for them to spend in store.

The store sells frozen food from big name brands such as Greggs, TGI Friday’s, Slimming World, Barratts, Harry Ramsden’s, Del Monte, Chiquito and Cathedral City.

It also offers chilled, fresh and branded grocery lines, and homewares.

Store manager, Kerryann Pettengell, said: "We are so pleased to welcome Tonbridge shoppers to our brand new The Food Warehouse store."

Its opening hours are Monday to Saturday 8am to 8pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm.
