An extensive range of fresh and healthy products, food-to-go and meal deals; Fairtrade goods; pizzas; flowers; ready meals, award winning wines and beers and, everyday essentials is available, with member price savings creating additional value for Co-op members who can save more with personalised offers, deals and promotions and, lower prices on the products shoppers buy most.

The store looks fantastic, transformed with a fresh new look designed to enhance the customer shopping experience. We are enjoying welcoming the community back into their Co-op. We’re proud to be part of local community life. We have a focus on being a hub locally for the community, delivering the quality, choice, value and added services which can be enjoyed by everyone. We're here to contribute to local life and conveniently serve and support Alvechurch.”
