New supermarket adds to discombobulation
If you haven’t walked down Avon Street recently, prepare yourself for a surprise.
Because this area of Bristol just the other side of Temple Meads from Valentine Bridge has changed more than most in recent years.
And it now has a supermarket, with a new Sainsbury’s Local opening on Friday on the ground floor of Box Makers Yard.
“The store looks brilliant as part of this new modern development,” says Sainsbury’s property director, Patrick Dunne.
Box Makers Yard residents have access to communal spaces including private dining rooms, rooftop terraces, a lounge and a gym.
