New Tesco Express in Scarborough could sell alcohol from 6am onwards
A new Tesco Express store in Scarborough has applied to sell alcohol from 6am onwards.
The Tesco Express at 68 Main Street, Seamer, which opened last week, is seeking a premises licence from the council.
If Tesco Stores Ltd’s scheme is approved, the sale of alcohol would be allowed from 6am until midnight, seven days a week.
The store’s current opening hours are from 6am to 10pm, Monday to Sunday.
The proposal would also see the removal of current restrictions in place for Christmas Day, Easter, and Good Friday.
Until October, the shop was run by Proudfoot, which first opened a store on Main Street in Seamer in 1948.
Commenting on its opening, store manager Austin Ferguson recently said: “I’m delighted to be taking on the role of store manager at Seamer Express and bringing a new Tesco store to Scarborough.
“We’re looking forward to creating a friendly and supportive environment for both customers and colleagues.
“I joined Tesco 13 years ago and have been working as a store manager for three years.
"With most of our colleagues just starting their career at Tesco, I’m excited to share my experience, helping them build their skills and growing as a team that we can all be proud of.”
The deadline for members of the public to comment on the application is Tuesday, December 3.
Anyone wishing to make representations regarding the application can email [email protected] or give notice in writing to: North Yorkshire Council, Licensing Services, Town Hall, St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, YO11 2HG.
