Co-op set to open two new look Welsh stores next week

The Co-op is set to serve-up two new-look food stores in North Wales next week following a combined £2.75M investment supporting over 30 local jobs.

Its petrol filling station in Abergele Road, Old Colwyn, re-launches on Thursday, 26 September, following a £1m three month overhaul of the site infrastructure and food store.

The programme of works – which commenced in June – has seen replacement tanks, forecourt and canopy.

In Rhos-on-Sea, the Co-op has invested £1.75M to relocate to a larger site on Colwyn Avenue.

The development has given a new lease of life to the former church hall which was disused and had fallen into a state of disrepair.

Carl Pettersson, Co-op area manager, said: “We have been receiving a great response and reaction to the improvements.

"Both stores enable Co-op to better serve the community - we are delighted to have the opportunity to make further significant investment in North Wales.

"Our aim is for the stores to operate at the heart of local life - a community hub. Making a difference and creating value in their communities through job creation, support for local causes and backing for Welsh agriculture and local suppliers. The investment is a great way for the Co-op to mark its 175 anniversary year."
