Additional services at the store include payment services via PayPoint, and parcel collections through Amazon and DPD. The store is also a fulfilment hub for Co-op’s leading quick commerce operation, with groceries picked fresh in the local store for fast and convenient online home delivery locally through Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo.
