06 December 2024
Claines Co-op relaunches (Friday, 6 December) following a six-week major makeover and programme of works and improvements designed to ‘totally transform’ the store.
Located at 387 Ombersley Road, the 1,250 sq ft store has undergone a significant investment with the works designed to improve the layout with a fresh and more spacious new look to enhance the shopping experience.
Known locally as the ‘little Co-op’ - compared to the larger Co-op store at 46 Ombersley Road – the store supports 15 local jobs with a vacancy available for a team leader.
The new-look store serves-up a focus on fresh, chilled and frozen produce, along with meal ideas and everyday essentials; bakery and dairy products; sandwiches, food-to-go and meal deals; Fairtrade products; award winning wines; ready meals; pizzas; vegan and plant-based products, and with an increased gluten free range.
Self-service tills are added to increase ease, speed and convenience, particularly at busier times.
Parcel collection services are available through Amazon and DPD, and the online home delivery of groceries is now available via Uber Eats as well as Deliveroo, with orders picked fresh in the local store and then delivered quickly and conveniently in the local community. Payment services are offered through PayPoint.
Calvin Filipi, Co-op Store Manager, said: “It is an exciting time for the whole team as we relaunch the store for the community, we are delighted to see such a significant investment carried out and the works will really enhance and improve the shopping experience. With a fresh new-look and more spacious lay-out it looks like a brand new store, it has been totally transformed. We pride ourselves on being able to deliver the quality, choice, added services and value, which can be enjoyed by everyone in the community. We are looking forward to welcoming our members and customers back into their Co-op - we’re here to contribute to local life and serve and support our community, conveniently.”
The larger, near 6,000 sq ft Co-op store, located at 46, Ombersley Road, relaunched in July this year after also under-going a major refurbishment programme.
