British co-operative group Co-op is set to re-open its store on Market Street in Ulverston, Cumbria following a comprehensive seven-week refurbishment programme.
Opening on 5 September 2024, the store will support the local economy by generating 30 jobs across its Market Street and neighbouring Priory Road locations.

The revamped Co-op store will feature an in-store bakery and will offer fresh, chilled and healthy products, meal ideas, essential groceries, food-to-go options, meal deals, Fairtrade items, flowers, newspapers and magazines, chilled beers and award-winning wines.
The Ulverston Co-op also provides parcel collection services through Amazon and DPD and maintains a free ATM.
To support British agriculture, all the store’s fresh and frozen meat and poultry, including those in ready meals and sandwiches, will be 100% sourced from the UK.
The store also features a soft plastic recycling unit, enabling the recycling of items such as crisp packets, bread bags and pet food pouches.

Co-op store manager Darren Miller said: “The whole team is delighted to have the opportunity to transform our Market Street store – it looks fantastic with a fresh new look and more spacious layout, and we are looking forward to welcoming our members and customers back into their improved Co-op store.
“Our aim is always to operate at the heart of local life, and we have worked to develop the range, choice and added services to create a compelling offer to serve our community, conveniently.
“Co-op also has a focus on delivering value, with member price savings across a wide range of everyday essentials so that the people who own our business, our member-owners, benefit every time they shop.”
In August 2024, Co-op opened its new convenience store in the revitalised residential area of the Welsh capital city Cardiff’s Dumballs Road.
