A SUPERMARKET chain is reaching out to the masses in Southampton with their new convenience store. 

Morrisons' new M Local store in Southampton City Gateway is one of a series of mini branches being opened by the firm.

A total of 20 new jobs have been created at the Parkville Road store – the third to open in the city.

Store manager Gary Standen said: “We are proud to have created another 20 jobs in Southampton and are looking forward to bringing more choice to the area with a store that has fresh food at its heart.”

The store will now be open 6.30am to 11pm every day.
