18 October 2022

Co-op is set to serve-up its newest store this week (Friday, 21 October) at The Chocolate Works, York.

The convenience retailer’s new, near 2,500 sq ft store, is located in Campleshon Road, York and supports 15 local jobs.

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

An Amazon Locker is available for convenient parcel collection, while self-service tills are included for added ease and speed.

A funding boost is provided locally through Co-op’s Membership programme. Membership of Co-op 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. In addition, Co-op also donates the same amount to local causes and community organisations.

Co-op’s 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 – a move which also means that all Co-op’s own food packaging is recyclable.

Students who are TOTUM cardholders – the new name for NUS extra – also receive a 10% discount off groceries at Co-op.

Josie Turnbull, Co-op's Store Manager, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to launch Co-op’s newest store, and really looking forward to welcoming the community into their new Co-op. The store has a great look and feel. Our aim is to operate at the heart of local life, and we have worked to develop the range, choice, products and added services to create a really compelling offer to serve the community with Co-op’s quality and value, conveniently.”

Co-op has more than 4M active Members, and alongside Food, it operates: Co-op Funeralcare, Insurance and Legal Services.
