There was also a free tray of Ferrero Rocher for the first 200 customers, and everyone in the queue before 7.45am received a raffle ticket.
Five other shoppers won the chance to take part in a two-minute supermarket sweep-style trolley dash around the empty store, filling their trolleys for free.
Glenn Clarke, store manager, said: “We’re so pleased to welcome Bicester shoppers to our brand new The Food Warehouse store.
“Everyone was so excited for the grand opening – people were even in the queue from 4am this morning.
“If you haven’t been down yet, make sure to check out our brand-new store.”
The Food Warehouse stores are often double the size of traditional Iceland stores.
Offering a much larger range of products, they are designed to look like a warehouse, with wide shopping aisles and large spaces.
Kristian Barrett, group retail director at Iceland Foods, added: “We’re thrilled to have opened our new Bicester store.”
The store will be open from 8am to 8pm from Monday to Saturday, and from 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
