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.
