27 November 2025
A Southampton Co-op re-launches with a fresh new-look and enhanced range and choice following a 12-week programme of improvements.
The Bassett Green Road store – which supports 14 local jobs - has been ‘transformed’ with a brand new look and layout and is welcoming members and customers back into the local store.
An extensive range includes hot food, Costa Coffee Express; bakery; fresh and healthy products; food-to-go and meal deals; Fairtrade goods; pizzas; flowers; ready meals, award winning wines and beers and, everyday essentials. Building works provided new flooring and ceiling, along with the latest refrigeration which not only cuts Co-op’s carbon footprint, but also enhances the store’s fresh, chilled and frozen range. Other services include National Lottery and, payment services via PayPoint.
The online home delivery of groceries is offered through Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats – orders are picked fresh in the local store and delivered quickly and conveniently locally, often in as little as 60 minutes or less. Plus, parcel collection services are coming soon via an InPost Locker, along with Amazon and DPD pickup.
