The shop is open 8am to 10pm every day. There is another Tesco Express a short distance away in Foregate Street, near the railway station. 

Earlier this week, onlookers spotted signs, shelves, and tills being put up inside the store.

Ryan Holt, Tesco Worcester store manager, said previously: "We are extremely excited to be opening our new Worcester High Street store and helping to serve the local community.

"We want to continue to offer great value to our customers with a wide product range and the benefits of Tesco Clubcard and Clubcard pricing to our customers.

"We have 16 new colleagues joining the team from the local area and we know that local knowledge and experience will be so important as we look to build connections and play our part in the community."
