The location will feature the setup of a traditional pub with bartenders and pints, however, it will serve non-alcoholic and low ABV alternatives (up to 0.5%) wines, beers and spirits to customers.
Sainsbury’s buyer Anne Cooper said: “We’re seeing a really exciting spike in the no and low alcohol category at Sainsbury’s which has been growing since 2001.
“With an increasing number of products now available, those who want to hold off on alcoholic beverages don’t need to miss out on the experience of enjoying a beer with friends or even a mocktail made with a delicious non-alcoholic distillate.”
In addition, the retailer will allow customers to try its non-alcoholic dark distillate, Celtic Soul, which offers the appeal of whiskey.
