Coronation Street Introduces New Stores In Weatherfield
Coronation Street is undergoing a huge change in the coming times. Let us tell you that the Co-op is no longer a part of Weatherfield. It’s because Cobbles has introduced a brand new Sainsbury’s store after six long years. Plus, there’s even going to be an Argos outlet right in Weatherfield.
ITV has just inked a fantastic sponsorship deal with Sainsbury’s. It will definitely bring viewers a whole new shopping experience on Victoria Street. Coronation Street fans can keep an eye out for the hoardings as the new store takes shape from July onwards.
We might not get used to Sainsbury’s products and bags in Weatherfield, but eventually, it will become familiar. Also, the contract will last until December 2026. Recently, Laura Boothby from Argos expressed their excitement about the new store in Coronation Street.
She stated, “We hope the new store brings familiarness and fun to viewers watching from home and perhaps see Ken Barlow popping in to Click & Collect a new kettle!” Laura then labeled Corrie as one of the country’s most iconic TV shows, which its customers know and love.
She explained that this is why continuing their sponsorship with Coronation Street made perfect sense. John Whiston, Managing Director of Continuing Drama and Head of ITV in the North, anticipated that the ongoing construction behind the hoardings would stir up conversations.
He exclaimed, “It’ll be the talk of The Street.” So, are you excited to have a look at the hoarding? Well, we definitely are! Let us see when the soap shares its first glimpse. Until then, for more Coronation Street Spoilers and updates, keep checking TV Season & Spoilers!
