Killay Co-op (Swansea) relaunches with fresh new-look following major makeover
12 July 2024
Co-op relaunches its Killay (Swansea) store today (Friday, 12 July) following a nine-week programme of works and improvements to transform the store.
Located in Gower Road, Killay, the near 4,500 sq ft store supports up to 25 local jobs.
The new-look store serves-up a Costa Coffee Express and in-store bakery alongside a focus on fresh, chilled and healthy produce; meal ideas and everyday essentials; food-to-go and meal deals; Fairtrade products, flowers, chilled beers and award-winning wines; ready meals, pizzas and, free-from, vegan and plant-based products.
An InPost Locker provides parcel collection services, and the online home delivery of groceries – where products are picked fresh by the local Co-op store and then delivered quickly and conveniently in the community – is set to be introduced shortly after the store’s relaunch.
Customer car parking is also available.
Co-op is committed to supporting UK farmers, growers and suppliers, with all of its fresh and frozen meat and poultry, including in its ready meals, pies and freshly prepared sandwiches, 100% British.
A soft plastic recycle unit is 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 - ensuring all Co-op’s own food packaging is recyclable either through local authority kerbside collections, or the in-store recycling unit.

We are really looking forward to welcoming our members and customers back into their new-look Co-op. Our aim is to operate at the heart of local life, and we have worked to develop the range, choice and added services to create a compelling offer to serve the community.
