A FOND farewell to Sainsbury's at Foss Bank, York, and all the staff.

Fond farewell to popular York supermarket

First opened to the public on 23 October 1984 and shutting up shop on Saturday, January 11.

After just short of 40 years of serving the the community a much loved and extremely popular local supermarket has ceased to trade in this area.

Large enough to stock everything you required for a full shop, but small enough to be homely and friendly.

RIP the Foss Bank Sainsburys and the many thanks to the friendly members of staff – you'll be sadly missed by your many customers.

D M Deamer,

Penleys Grove Street,

Monkgate,

York
