New refrigeration supports Co-op’s work to further cut its carbon footprint, and soft plastic recycling is also available, enabling shoppers to return and recycle materials such as crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches.
The store will also be a fulfilment Hub for quick and convenient online grocery deliveries through Uber Eats, with orders picked fresh in the local store and delivered quickly and conveniently in the community, in as little as under 60 minutes.
