A CONSTRUCTION firm designed a Sixties-style supermarket for a major motor racing event.
York-based Portakabin subsidiary, Yorkon, created the Tesco supermarket for this year’s Goodwood Revival, last month.
A typical Sixties street scene was created for the event, which included a period car park, bus depot and a fully trading Tesco supermarket.
Visitors were able to buy some of their favourite products from the era, some complete with heritage packaging.
Yorkon successfully recreated a store from 1966 which was completed in only seven weeks, from receipt of order to handover at the Goodwood Circuit in Sussex.
The 1,700sq ft supermarket comprised six steel-framed modules, which were manufactured off-site at the Yorkon production centre, in York, and pre-fitted with partitions, back-of-house facilities, electrics, chequerboard vinyl tile flooring, and other themed internal finishes, before being delivered to Goodwood and craned into position in only one day.
The retro store will be reused for the Goodwood Revival for the next two years.
