The new Co-op store houses an in-store bakery, fresh and healthy products, everyday essentials, meal ideas, food-to-go and chilled beers. 

It also offers home deliveries through Deliveroo and Just Eat and features customer car parking and an ATM. 

The Co-op has introduced a soft plastic recycle unit in-store, allowing customers to recycle a range of soft plastics such as bread bags, crisp packets and biscuit wrappers.  

This initiative ensures that all Co-op’s own food packaging can be recycled, either through local authority kerbside collections or the in-store recycling facility.
