A supermarket has been gutted as renovation works take place.

The Tesco Express in Jubilee Street, Brighton is closed for six weeks while the shop undergoes refurbishment.

There is a pile of rubble in the middle of the store, with contractors busy removing the debris into the back of a van.

Prospective customers who turned looking for a meal deal were met with an empty interior.

The nearest Tesco Express is in Queen's Road.

A spokeswoman for Tesco said: “We’re excited to be fully refurbishing our Brighton Jubilee Street Express to provide an improved shopping experience for our customers."

The store is set to reopen on Thursday, March 30, when customers will be met with new fridges, freezers, aisles and shelves.

“In the meantime, we hope customers will enjoy shopping in our nearby Queen’s Road Express or with us online.”
