Iceland in March has confirmed it will reopen on Monday, October 5, after the store was closed for around eight weeks following a roof collapse in July. Team Iceland announced the reopening on social media, saying staff have been busy cleaning and restocking the store ahead of welcoming customers back.
The March town centre supermarket has remained closed since Tuesday, July 28, when part of the roof structure collapsed above the store.
The incident caused masonry, roof tiles and bricks to fall into the alleyway linking High Street and City Road. Emergency services attended the scene and the store and a neighbouring building were evacuated. No injuries were reported.
The reopening announcement means customers will once again be able to shop at the March Iceland store, although repair work will continue after the doors reopen. Team Iceland said workmen will still be working above the store while repairs to the roof continue.
Customers have also been given new instructions for accessing the supermarket. Shoppers arriving from City Road Car Park are asked to follow the fencing around and enter the store via a walkway next to the Podiatrists, in front of Solace.

Trolleys will be available at the front entrance, with additional docking areas at the rear of the shop to help customers get their shopping safely to their cars.

The store’s usual opening hours will remain in place. Iceland in March will open from 8am to 7pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sundays.

The supermarket also said it hopes to restore its in-store home delivery service as soon as possible after reopening. Online orders will continue to be sent from the Iceland store in Wisbech until the following weekend.
The announcement follows weeks of closure after the July roof collapse, which prompted structural engineers to assess the building and safety measures to be put in place around the affected area.

Team Iceland thanked customers and local residents for their support during the closure, including those who travelled to Wisbech to shop and those who spoke to staff in March.
The reopening on October 5 will mark the return of the Iceland store to normal trading, although repair work will continue above the shop.
