Co-op has relaunched its store in Vernon Road, Greenmount (Bury), today (Friday, 29 July) following a four week programme of improvements.

The new-look, near 2,000 sq ft store, runs on 100% renewable electricity and supports 12 local jobs.

Opening between 7am-10pm daily, Co-op’s new-look store includes customer car parking, a free ATM and bakery, alongside a focus on fresh; healthy products; meal ideas; everyday essentials; food-to-go; Fairtrade products; award winning beers and wines; ready meals and free-from; vegan and plant-based products – including Co-op’s exclusive vegan range, GRO.

John Lewis click and collect parcel collection and return is also available for added ease and convenience.

A funding boost is provided locally through Co-op’s Membership programme. Membership of the Co-op not only unlocks additional value through in-store offers and, sees Members rewarded with 2p in every pound they spend on Co-op branded products which is added to their own personal Membership account balance, but the Co-op also donates the same amount to local causes and community organisations. Students who are TOTUM cardholders – the new name for NUS extra – also receive a 10% discount at the Co-op.

Qasim Kausar, Co-op’s Store Manager, said: “We are delighted to have re-launched the community’s Co-op – it has a great new look and, an improved back-of-shop area and storage in order to further enhance the service we deliver. We aim to operate at the heart of local life and are looking forward to welcoming Members and customers back into their Co-op - we have worked to create the range, choice, products and added services to create a really compelling offer to serve our community, conveniently.”

A recycle unit is also available to enable the community to return its ‘soft plastics’ - including: crisp packets, bread bags, lids from ready meals and yogurt pots, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches. Compostable carrier bags are also available for shoppers who forget their reusable bags in order to eliminate single use plastic bags.
