The first phase of Tottenham's plan for a new ground has been completed with the opening of a supermarket on the site of their new stadium complex, reports Sky Sports. The store - the largest Sainsbury's in London - was officially opened on Wednesday morning by Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy along with club ambassador Ledley King and the MP for Tottenham David Lammy.
Levy said: "We are delighted to see Sainsbury's open their new Tottenham store today.
"This store is one of the largest supermarkets of its kind in London, and represents the completion of the first part of our new stadium scheme and the start of the regeneration of north Tottenham."
Over the next few years, Spurs will spend millions on the new stadium and the subsequent regeneration of the local area. "Having played for Tottenham I know how they're all about community and giving back," former captain King said.
"This is the first phase of the stadium project and it's creating over 200 jobs for locals in the area."
Eventually, the land between the store and the White Hart Lane will become Tottenham's new home - £400m is being spent on a 56,000 capacity stadium alongside 300 new flats.
