Sainsbury's has been trialling a new drive-thru service by giving away free food at one of its stores in England. The supermarket giant has been running the offer this week (January 25-27) at its London Colney branch from 5pm to 8am.
HertsLive reports that the Flourish Fuelling Station has been offering meals from the grocer's new Flourish health range. Sainsbury's says it has carried out research that shows shift workers have the unhealthiest diets in the UK – with 79% saying unhealthy eating patterns are made worse by overnight working.
The retailer says night shift workers spend an average of £86 a month on fast food during their shifts, with a quarter (26%) admitting to eating takeaways at work three times a week. The research was conducted by Censuswide this month on 2,438 workers in the UK.
