The store - which supports 14 local jobs and currently has vacancies for retail positions – has seen new refrigeration throughout, which increases the fresh, chilled and frozen range, and also supports Co-op’s work to further cut its carbon footprint. Back of shop improvements are designed to enable colleagues to better serve the community, and structural work has been carried out to the fabric of the building during the extensive overhaul, all combining to enhance the shopping experience for customers.

Denholme’s Co-op includes Costa Coffee Express and in-store bakery.

An InPost Locker has been added, and parcel collection services are also available through DPD. Payment service are offered via PayPoint.

Member price savings create additional value for Co-op members, with personalised deals and offers for members and, lower prices on the products shoppers buy most.

Co-op is committed to backing British agriculture, and all of its own fresh and frozen meat, poultry and dairy is 100% British – including in its pies, ready meals and sandwiches.

Nicola Caffrey, Co-op’s Area Operations Manager, said: “The whole team is delighted to have had the opportunity to invest in our Denholme store – enhancements have been made to the shop floor along with back office enhancements and structural works which combine to improve the customer experience. With a focus on delivering the quality, choice, value and added services which can be enjoyed by everyone, we’re proud to be part of the community - we're here to contribute to local life and conveniently serve and support Denholme.”

The store also has a focus on food-to-go and meal deals; Fairtrade products, pizzas, flowers; ready meals, award winning beers and wines and, everyday essentials.

Soft plastic recycling is available in store, making it easier for shoppers to return harder to recycle materials such as crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches.
