Wick Co-op re-launches following a eight week programme of works and improvements to ‘transform’ the store.
Located on Thurso Road, Wick, the new-look store supports 18 local jobs and opens between 7am-10pm daily.
The new-look store includes a range of added services including Costa Coffee Express machine, photo booth, a rug doctor, plus the convenient out-of-home collection of parcels through InPost Lockers.
New refrigeration enhances the fresh, chilled and frozen range, and also supports Co-op’s work to further cut its carbon footprint. This sits alongside a bakery and hot food provided by Inverness based Hary Gow, plus Co-op’s focus on food-to-go and meal deals; Fairtrade products, pizzas, flowers; ready meals, award winning beers and wines and, everyday essentials.
Committed to backing British agriculture, all of Co-op’s own meat, poultry and dairy is 100% British – including in its pies, ready meals and sandwiches.
Member price savings create additional value for Co-op members, with personalised offers for members and lower prices on the products shoppers buy most.
Self-service tills and customer car parking is also available for added convenience.
Daniel Simpsons, Co-op’s Area Operations Manager, said: “The whole team is delighted to have the opportunity to invest in our Wick store – the works really have been transformative, with a fresh new look and layout it looks fantastic. We would really like to thank the community for their support during the works, and now that the works have concluded we are really enjoying their positive response and reaction. We are proud to be part of the local community, and with a focus on delivering the quality, choice, value and added services which can be enjoyed by everyone – we’re here to contribute to local life and conveniently serve and support Wick.”
Soft plastic recycling is also available in the store, making it easier for shoppers to return harder to recycle materials such as crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches.
