A NEW-look Co-op store has opened in Wibsey after a £1.1 million investment by the firm.

The store on Fair Road, which runs on 100 per cent renewable electricity, now has new self-service tills, an improved in-store bakery, national lottery and Paypoint services, alongside a focus on fresh, healthy foods, Costa coffee, meal ideas, food-to-go, award winning wines and essentials.

Derek Broadhurst, Co-op Regional Manager, said: “We are delighted to have had the opportunity to make such a significant investment in our Wibsey store. It is our aim to establish our stores at the heart of local life, and make a difference in our local communities.

“The store will have a great new look and range. Store manager, Glen Cottell, and his team look forward to welcoming the community. It’s all about getting closer to our members and customers, providing what they want, need and care about, conveniently.

“We also want customers to know that they can become a co-owner and member of their Co-op, and that the Co-op gives back to its Members and the community - our Members help us to make a difference locally, raising money for local causes simply by swiping their Membership card when they shop with us.“

Store manager Glen Cottell is pictured cutting the ribbon with staff members and representatives of two of the good causes the store raises funds for, Great Horton Park Chapel Cricket Club and Low Moor Cricket Club.
