Creating 30 local jobs, the Louth store’s layout has also been upgraded with hot food and bakery sections, alongside a Costa Coffee Express. Parcel collection services are available through InPost Lockers and DPD, and the store offers a soft plastic recycling unit.
Co-op director of format and innovation Mark Matthews commented: “As we invest in transforming our Louth store, we are committed to creating added services that provide a compelling customer offer in the community.”
Bonmarché retail director Amanda Waterfield added: “We hope this opening will lead to more Co-op partnerships in the future.”
