Sainsbury’s has started construction work on the site of its new flagship supermarket at Talbot Green. The supermarket store plans to bring 150 permanent new retail jobs to the area, as well as temporarily support jobs during construction.
It comes after plans for the site - east of Cowbridge Road near the A473 - were approved for a new supermarket, hotel and cinema, among other amenities, 12 years ago. The plans were approved in 2013 and 2014, and a new roundabout was even built to handle the expected traffic to the site, but until this year the land remained empty.
However, after years of waiting for the development of the site, work for a 50,000 square feet Sainsbury’s store has begun and is hoped to be open in spring 2024.
