Sainsbury's Launch Free healthy 'Flourish' meals for drive-through and walk ups 5pm - 8am until 27th January (London Colney, St Albans)

Ideal if local or passing through that way to/from work etc.

Sainsbury's is giving away free food this week at the supermarket chain's first ever drive-thru. The service has opened in London Colney and will be open overnight from 5pm to 8am until Friday 27th Jan.

The Flourish Fuelling Station will offer meals from the grocer's new Flourish health range. Sainsbury's says it has carried out research that shows shift workers have the unhealthiest diets in the UK – with 79% saying unhealthy eating patterns are made worse by overnight working.



The Fuelling Station will be open for three nights only - Wednesday to Friday, January 25 to 27 - at the Sainsbury’s petrol station on Colney Fields Shopping Park. "If successful, Sainsbury’s may explore providing further solutions to offer hot food options during unsociable hours in the future," the company say

Claire Hughes, director of product and innovation at Sainsbury’s, said: “It is a shame that night shift workers don't have the same access to healthy, balanced meals as those working a regular 9 to 5, particularly as these eating habits are causing them to feel tired, whilst not keeping them full.

“We hope that Sainsbury’s new Flourish range will help to address that, with the Fuelling Station offering the chance to try nutritious options for free. Flourish has been developed as a positive approach to health, created alongside chefs and nutritionists. The range is all about delicious food with healthy ingredients that support a balanced diet. We hope it makes it easier not just for shift workers, but for everyone to find solutions for convenient healthy eating.”
