Tesco Express has announced a new city centre location in Liverpool.
The supermarket chain will open at the Metquarter occupying the lower ground floor of the former BOSS unit at the Whitechapel entrance. Work on the 3,413 sqft store will begin this month with the aim to open in spring, creating 20 jobs.
The Metquarter has moved from a traditional shopping centre into a mixed use space in recent year and have said the new addition will "further complement Metquarter’s existing mix of entertainment, creative arts and premium fashion retailers, offering synergy and convenience for all occupiers and customers".

Metquarter has also welcomed Carvela to the centre, a premium accessories and shoe brand replacing the existing Kurt Geiger unit on the ground floor. Alex Hyams, senior asset and leasing manager for Queensberry said: “We are delighted to welcome Tesco to Metquarter.
"Since Queensberry bought the asset back in 2016, we have continued to successfully repurpose the building to include a state-of-the-art education campus with over 1400 students and multiple retail and leisure uses including Everyman Cinema and GPO food hall.”
A Tesco spokesperson said: “We’re excited to be opening a new store in Liverpool and look forward to serving the local community in spring 2024.”
Tesco Express will be open daily from 7am – 11pm.
