Co-op serves-up new Brixworth (Northamptonshire) store

21 July 2023

Co-op launches new, improved and, larger store today (Friday, 21 July) to serve the village of Brixworth, Northamptonshire.

The 5,000 sq ft convenience store, which supports 25 local jobs, is more than double the size of its Hunters Way store which will relocate to the new Northampton Road location.

Opening between 7am-10pm daily (10am-4pm on Sunday), the new store includes a free ATM to provide access to cash in the community, in-store bakery, a Costa coffee dispenser and hot food. The Post Office will also relocate (from Hunters Way, Brixworth) to the brand-new location following the launch.

As a co-operative, Membership unlocks additional value with personalised offers and, Member price benefits to help Co-op's Members save more. Plus, there is a funding boost for community organisations provided through Co-op’s Membership programme.

Co-op Members are rewarded with 2p in every pound they spend on Co-op branded products which is added to their own personal Membership account balance, with Co-op donating the same amount to local causes and, community organisations - so, Members can make a difference simply by shopping at Co-op.

Community causes currently being supported by Brixworth's Co-op are: Sunny Socks Nursery School; Brixworth Wombles – community litter picking group and, Brixworth First Responders.

Brixworth’s new Co-op store will also include an enhanced and improved range of fresh, healthy products; meal ideas; everyday essentials; food-to-go; Fairtrade products, flowers, chilled beers and award winning wines; ready meals, pizzas and, free-from; vegan and plant-based products – including Co-op’s exclusive vegan range, GRO.

Steve Littlewood, Co-op Store Manager, said: “We have had a great response - it is very exciting to launch Co-op’s newest store. Our aim is to operate at the heart of local life and, we are really looking forward to welcoming Members and customers into their new and improved store. We have worked to develop the range, choice and added services to create a compelling offer to serve our community, conveniently.”

A soft plastic recycle unit is also available in store to enable the community to recycle ‘soft plastics’ including: crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals and yogurt pots, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches. This means that all Co-op’s own food packaging is recyclable through either local authority kerbside collections, or its in-store soft plastic recycling unit.

Co-op is one of the world’s largest consumer co-operatives, it is owned by Millions of UK consumers and alongside Food, it operates Funeralcare; Insurance and Legal Services.
