15 November 2025
14, November 2025 Bebington’s Cross Lane Co-op re-launches with a fresh new-look following a five-week programme of improvements.
Bebington’s Co-op is one of 50 new or refurbished stores Co-op has confirmed this week it is opening during November and December, in time for Christmas – other stores to open this week included those in Aylesbury (new concept On The Go store); and also refurbishments for stores in Isle of Grain (Kent) and Hall Grove (Ludwick, Welwyn Garden City).
The Bebington store – which supports 15 local jobs - has been ‘transformed’ with a brand new look and layout which includes an in-store bakery, Costa Coffee Express and new refrigeration which not only further cuts Co-op’s carbon footprint, but also enhances the store’s fresh, chilled and frozen range.
Cross Lane’s Co-op is welcoming members and customers back into their local store, where they will see an extended range and choice including fresh and healthy products; food-to-go and meal deals; Fairtrade goods; pizzas; flowers; ready meals, award winning wines and beers and, everyday essentials.
Online home delivery of groceries is available through Just Eats, Uber Eats and Deliveroo - orders are picked fresh in the local store, and delivered quickly and conveniently in the community.
Parcel collection services are available through an Amazon Locker.
Payment services are offered through PayPoint, with an ATM providing access to cash in the community.
Mike Caston, Co-op’s Store Manager, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to invest in Bebington. The store has been completely transformed with a fresh new look. 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 the community.”
Member price savings create 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.
Soft plastic recycling is also available in store, making it easier for shoppers to return harder to recycle materials such as crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches.
