Tesco opens latest convenience shop... in a church | Mail Online

Tesco opens latest convenience shop... in a church | Mail Online

Shoppers who pray for cheaper groceries might just get what they wish for after a branch of Tesco opened in a former church.
The building, in Bournemouth, Dorset, has been drastically altered to sell groceries underneath its original ornate stained glass windows.

The former Westbourne Methodist Church is now selling food, alcohol, cigarettes and lottery tickets after the retail giant moved in.

  1. I have watched this conversion from the start and know the area well. While a lot of locals protested - this is a great use of an otherwise redundant building. Tesco's have been hugely innovative in converting this building to their needs - but still retaining a lot of original character.
