Supermarket giant Tesco is hoping it will be third time lucky for the opening date of its new Tenby store.

The Tesco Express was due to open today (Tuesday) a date deferred from last week because of the bad weather.

Now a new opening date of Monday, February 1st, has been given.

The store - in the former Woolworths building in Tudor Square - will open for business at 8am. The official opening ceremony will be at 10.30am, when there will be a donation of £500 made to the RNLI.

Representatives from the charity will be the guests of honour at the event, and will be invited to cut the ribbon to declare the store open.

A Tesco spokesperson said: "We would like to apologise for the delay in the store opening and to thank everyone for their patience. We hope that no inconvenience has been caused."

The new store will be open from 6am to 11pm, seven days a week.
