Sainsbury's in Broad Street, Reading, has been given permission to sell alcohol 24/7 after a 28-day statutory consultation concluded on Wednesday, November 4 with no objections.
The Broad Street shop is smaller than the Friar Street store but still a handy stop for people living in the town centre, workers and visitors.
The change will let the store accept later deliveries via its own online shopping and through Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats. Sainsbury's also runs a 'Chop Chop' service allowing up to 30 items delivered within 60 minutes.
Current opening hours are 7am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 12pm to 6pm on Sundays.
Sainsbury's has three town-centre stores: Broad Street, Friar Street and the smaller Station Road shop which opened in January last year. A previous Sainsbury's Local on Shinfield Road closed in May 2023 and became the Honey & Ghee Asian supermarket.
