Located in Gloucester Road, Bishopston, the store relaunches and offers a fresh new-look and enhanced shopping experience for the community, opening between 7am-10pm daily, and 11am-5pm on Sundays.

New refrigeration cuts energy consumption and supports Co-op’s carbon reduction goals,  while enhancing the range and choice of fresh and chilled products.

In-store bakery and Costa Coffee Express is available, alongside Co-op’s meal deals and food to go; Fairtrade products; ready meals and meal ideas – including its new Mexican-inspired ‘Served’ range – pizzas; fresh meats and dairy; chilled beers and wines, fresh flowers and, everyday essentials.

Convenient parcel collection services are available via Amazon and DPD.

The quick and convenient online home delivery of groceries is offered through Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo, along with Co-op’s own online shop – shop.coop.co.uk – where orders are picked fresh in the local store for delivery in the community.

Payment services are provided via PayPoint, and an ATM provides free access to cash in the community.

There are offers, deals and promotions – including Co-op Irresistible pizza and a tub of Häagen-Dazs ice cream for just £5 for Members – throughout the store.

Member price savings create additional value for Co-op members who can save more with lower prices on the essential products shoppers buy most.

Michelle Phillips, Co-op’s store manager, said: “We’re delighted to invest in Bishopston,  and proud to be part of local community life. Co-op is committed to backing high streets and communities, and we work to ensure our store is a hub locally. We have a focus on offering quality products, value and choice that can be enjoyed by everyone, alongside added services to make everyday life, easier. The store really has been transformed and looks fantastic. We would like to thank the community for its support during the works, and the whole team is looking forward to welcoming our members and customers back into the store now the works are concluded – we’re here to serve and support the community, conveniently.”
