SUPERMARKET giant Morrisons is set to open a new convenience store in a former Chaddesden pub.
The chain is to open an M Local, which is its convenience store brand, in the former Kingfisher pub, in Lexington Road.
The new store, which will be officially opened on Monday by Derby Paralympic footballer Leon Taylor, will create 20 jobs.
The pub closed last year due to falling trade and in December, an application was lodged to turn the building into a retail unit.
Permission was granted by Derby City Council in June.
The building has undergone a number of alterations in order to accommodate the convenience store.
The main pub building has been retained but an extension has been added to the rear.
The store, which has a total retail floor space of 4,000sq ft, has 14 parking spaces and also an ATM.
Mr Taylor will perform the ribbon cutting at 9am. Customers will be invited to sample products from the store's Food to Go section, which offers coffee, bacon sandwiches and pastries.
The store will then be open every day from 7am to 11pm.
