Co-Op says it has had “a great response” since its new food store opened in Banks near Southport. 

The shop, on the site of the former New Fleetwood pub on Hoole Lane, has seen the creation of 15 new jobs. 

The convenience retailer’s new 2,800 sq ft venue opens between 7am-10pm from Monday-Saturday and 8am-10pm on Sundays.

Co-Op has also teamed-up with InstaVolt which has installed a rapid electric vehicle charging point on the store’s car park, the charger is capable of adding up to 100 miles of range in as little as 15 minutes with the service selected to closely fit the dwell time for a vehicle when shoppers pop into a convenience store.

The convenience store includes increased customer car parking with up to 15 spaces, a free ATM; Fairtrade coffee dispenser – known as Ever Ground; hot food 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.

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, charities and community organisations.

Co-Op’s award-winning 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 yoghurt pots, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches – packaging that may not yet be accepted in household recycling collections. This means that all Co-Op’s own food packaging is recyclable.

    Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
