The shopping experience changed completely for the people of Bourne when Sainsbury’s opened their supermarket in Exeter Street on Friday 13th August 1999, the biggest retail outlet in the town and an occasion celebrated in style with a jazz band to greet shoppers, an advertising balloon over the new building and other attractions and the date has proved to be far from unlucky because it has become the most favoured store in the town.
