Was it really 11 years ago? Have a look for yourself at the first day of the Sainsbury’s store which opened in Wessington Way in 2013.
The Echo was there to get photos of the staff and customers as they took a first look round.
We’ve got ribbon-cutting, team photos and much more. Enjoy the memories.
