Operating as a sister site to Specsavers Northampton and the recently opened practice in Weston Favell, the Sainsbury’s site will be run by two directors, Jude Edwards and Mukesh Patelm who already head up both the Weston Favell and Northampton stores.

Jude Edwards, store director at Specsavers Weedon Road, said: “We’re delighted to have launched the new store and were so excited to welcome the players and their coach to join the celebrations, continue our support of the team and ensure they’re able to set their sights on a win come match day.”

The store will also sponsor the referees at the forthcoming NFTC Celebrities and Legends game in April, which will be held as part of the club’s 125th anniversary.
