Sainsbury’s has launched a temporary overnight drive-through that will provide free hot and healthy meals from its new Flourish health range. 

Running for three nights only from 25  to 27 January, the initiative is aimed at shift workers who may find it difficult to maintain healthy eating habits.

Sainsbury’s said its research has shown that shift workers have some of the most unhealthiest diets in the UK with 79% saying unhealthy eating patterns are made worse by overnight working.  

In a bid to help solve the problem, the drive-through will offer customers access to products ranging from healthy hot prepared meals to salads, snacks, smoothies and more. 

The Flourish Fuelling Station will be open over the three night period from 5pm to 8am at the Sainsbury’s Petrol Station at London Colney. If successful, the supermarket said it may explore providing further solutions to offer hot food options during unsociable hours in the future.
