Steps forward for opening of new supermarket in Halifax
A supermarket firm with stores in Dewsbury, Huddersfield and Leicester looks set to be well underway to opening a new branch in Halifax town centre.
The Courier revealed in October how Umrah Supermarket signs had gone up at what used to be B&M on Horton Street.
B&M closed there in June, reopening at a new home on Market Street in what used to be Tesco Express.
Now signs have gone up in the car park next to the Horton Street store saying parking is for Umrah customers only and the maximum stay is 90 minutes.
The store is not yet open but posts have appeared on Umrah Supermarket’s social media saying the store is coming to Halifax “very soon”.
When the firm opened its Dewsbury branch last year, Umrah Supermarket said it would be offering “a fresh bakery and butchers as well as a wide range of fruit and vegetables, nuts and spices” catering for “all local and international food tastes”.
