Sainsbury's is to follow Waitrose and Tesco with the launch of its first dark store, dedicated exclusively to fulfilling online grocery orders.
The supermarket has revealed plans to open its first dedicated Online Fulfilment Centre over the next few years in Bromley-By-Bow, East London, to sustain its growing online grocery sales.
Sainsburys estimates the 185,000 sq ft facility, laid out in the same way as its supermarkets and staffed by 375 employees, will serve an additional 20,000 customers
