Additional services include a customer car park, including a number of EV charging points, as well as parcel collection through Amazon and DPD, with InPost Lockers located outside the store. Soft plastic recycling is also available, enabling shoppers to return harder to recycle materials such as crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals, biscuit wrappers and pet food pouches.
Online platforms including Deliveroo and Uber Eats is also available, adding extra convenience to Members and customers.
Supporting UK farmers all of Co-op’s fresh meat – including in its ready meals, pies and sandwiches – is 100% British.
