This is a modern and well-stocked convenience store on Davygate in York city centre, Sainsbury's Local has good facilities in this store, located in the former French Connection unit, with a Costa Express coffee machine and facilities to scan items and pay, via using their Sainsbury's Smartshop App, simply scan the QR code which is conveniently placed at the front of the store, and you're good to go.
The store has a nice, modern feel to it, it is fairly new having opened back in 2020.
The store was short-staffed but the employee at the tills was friendly. He helped direct me to the exit QR code, If you are using the mobile scanning and payment option, you need to scan the same QR code to leave as to enter (The app states it is in the checkout area and it is not).
The selection was reasonable for a store of its' size, obviously, you couldn't do a weekly shop here and some times do cost more due to it being a "Local" Sainsbury's, but certainly not bad to pick up essentials while in town.
