Second Iceland store set for St Peter Port

Up to 10 jobs are set to be created with the opening of a second supermarket chain in Guernsey.

Alliance announced a second Iceland Foods shop would open in September at the Rectory House in Market Square, St Peter Port, replacing charity shop Health Connections.

The first Food Warehouse outside the UK opened at Braye Road at the start of 2025 as part of Alliance's new franchise agreement with Iceland Foods.

Keiran Poole, operations director at Alliance, said customer assistance positions and store management roles would be recruited for.

He said: "We're pleased to be opening a second Iceland location in Guernsey, this time right in the centre of St Peter Port - the new store has been designed with town centre shoppers in mind.

"We're also growing our team on the island with a number of new roles, and we look forward to welcoming customers to the store later this summer."

Justin Addison, international and partnerships director at Iceland Foods, said the new shop would be "helping to support the community while expanding our presence in the Channel Islands".

CEO of Health Connections Bella Farrell said the charity's shop currently at the site would "pop up again somewhere else at some point" and that there would be no job losses.
