Co-op has re-opened its Livingston food store following a programme of works and improvements and investment of £625,000.
Located at Bankton Retail Centre, Murieston, the Co-op is 2700 sq ft and supports 19 local jobs.
Livingston Co-op includes customer car parking, Stephen’s bakery, hot food and a Costa coffee dispenser, alongside a focus on fresh, healthy products, meal ideas, award winning wines, ready meals and pizzas, free-from, vegan and plant-based products, Fairtrade, and, everyday essentials.
The new Co-op also has a new recycle unit for ‘soft plastics’ which ensures all of Co-op’s own food packing is easy-to-recycle either via kerbside collection at home, or through this accessible disposal route for materials which are unlikely to be collected by UK councils - including: crisp packets, bread bags, single-use carrier bags and bags-for-life, lids from ready meals and yogurt pots, biscuit wrappers and pet-food pouches. Earlier this year Co-op rolled-out Europe’s most extensive in-store soft plastic recycling scheme.
