The store is trialling a tech-recirculation initiative with Spring.co.uk, allowing customers to trade in old phones and electronic devices.  

The store also provides a soft plastic recycling unit, enabling the recycling of items such as crisp packets, bread bags and pet food pouches.  

Co-op store manager Michael McDaniels said: “We have had a great response. The whole team is delighted to have had the opportunity to launch Co-op’s newest store.  

“Our aim is to operate at the heart of local life, and we’ve worked to develop the range, choice and added services to create a really compelling offer, conveniently. This includes a focus on delivering member value so that the people who own our business, Co-op’s member-owners, benefit every time they shop.” 

The retailer recently initiated a trial partnership with UK-based home delivery app Snappy Shopper in Northern Ireland to offer customers quick and convenient access to groceries.
