Sainsbury's in the Grosvenor Centre shut up shop yesterday (Saturday) leaving memories to last a lifetime.
The Chron has been snapping away for years at some of the town's most-loved grocery workers as they geared up to take on fundraising feats and sometimes slightly embarrassing challenges to raise money for on-the-doorstep charities.
Reporters have delved into the archives to find the best bits from Sainsbury's recent history at Northampton' s Grosvenor Centre as the town says goodbye to the shop for the final time.
From charity head shaves, hunting down bananas in the shopping centre, racing miles for good causes - there isn't much the teams haven't done over the years to help and have fun.
The move forms part of Sainsbury's cost-cutting measures to close up to 15 supermarkets before 2021 in a bid to save them £500 million.
The much-loved store has been a staple in the Grosvenor Centre for years and will be missed by many.
