Newbiggin-by-the-Sea in Northumberland’s Co-op re-opened its doors to the community last Friday (24 April), following a four-week investment programme.
Located in Front Street, the store supports 14 local jobs with seasonal recruitment for the summer season soon set to start.
Open between 7am-10pm each day, the store relaunch shows off a new look and range to “enhance the shopping experience for residents and visitors” to the coastal town.
New refrigeration is cutting energy consumption while enhancing the range and choice of fresh and chilled products, Co-op’s in store bakery has been extended and, a new Costa Coffee Express machine now dispenses both hot and chilled drinks.
An InPost Locker has been added alongside services from Amazon and DPD to provide convenient parcel collections.
Gary Colpitts, area manager, said of the new relaunch: “We’re delighted to invest in Newbiggin-by-the Sea as Co-op is committed to backing high streets and communities, and we work to ensure our stores are a hub locally.
“We’d really like to thank the community for all their support for the popular ‘pop-up Co-op shop’ during the works. The store has now been transformed, and the whole team is really looking forward to welcoming members and customers into the store now works are concluded.”
