This comes as a good deal of new businesses have been cropping up around the area, with a new farm shop, barbers, and cafe announcing their imminent arrival.
Speaking to the owner of Berkshire Village Farm Shop which is along the same line of stores, Andy De Beer said that the new Morrisons will have lots of fresh aspects.
He said that the Morrisons will be 'different' from the usual stores and Mr Singh plans to offer customers a range of new items.
"His Morrisons is due to have a beer cave, a bakery, and really good wines," Mr De Beer said.
"The setup is going to be very modern and different from other local stores and supermarkets."
Mr Singh went on to say that he has already received a great amount of positive feedback from the local community, with many allegedly telling him that an accessible supermarket was fervently needed.
"A lot of elderly people in the area have said that they are really pleased that we have decided to open," he said.
"They find it difficult to get to the other supermarkets which are a lot further away, so really do welcome a local one for convenience."
