Located in Western Parade, Woodhatch (near Reigate, Surrey), the store - which supports 12 local jobs - has been transformed during a six-week programme of works and improvements.

New refrigeration increases the fresh, chilled and frozen range, and also supports Co-op’s work to further cut its carbon footprint. This sits alongside Costa Coffee Express, an in-store bakery and, a focus on food-to-go and meal deals; Fairtrade products, pizzas, flowers; ready meals, award winning beers and wines and, everyday essentials.

Quick and convenient online home deliveries of groceries are available through Deliveroo – with orders picked fresh in the local store and delivered quickly in the community.

Parcel collection services are available via DPD and Amazon.

Member price savings create additional value for Co-op members, with personalised offers, deals and promotions 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.

Srikanth Pogalla, Co-op’s Store Manager, said: “The whole team is delighted to have had the opportunity to invest in our Woodhatch store. We are really looking forward to welcoming our members and customers back into their Co-op and, to showcase the store’s fresh new look. We’re proud to be part of local community life. We have a focus on being a hub locally for the community, delivering the quality, choice, value and added services which can be enjoyed by everyone. We're here to contribute to local life and conveniently serve and support Woodhatch.”
