Phil Cooper, Area Manager, added: “Our ambition is to establish the new store as a local hub, a real asset for the community.

“We also want shoppers to know that they can become a co-owner and member of their Co-op.

“As a community retailer and a co-operative, we give back to our communities, and our members can make a difference every time they shop with us.

“Simply by swiping their membership card when they shop with us, members will raise much needed funding for organisations locally who contribute to improving local life.”
