Overview
- The first new site opened this month in Willowbrook Park, Didcot, with refurbished locations in Ealing and Eastern Green, Coventry, already welcoming customers.
- Openings and reopenings run through late March with locations spanning Sussex to Stirling, including Saltdean, Fishponds in Bristol, Skelmersdale, Marske, Worle, Tarbert and Cruden Bay.
- Stores emphasize fresh food, bakery and coffee counters, Fairtrade ranges and added services such as payment services, parcel collection and returns.
- Co-op highlights online grocery access for roughly 86% of the population via its own shop and partners Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats, with soft‑plastic recycling points available in stores.
- The expansion is promoted alongside a £70 million Levy Share pledge to create 7,000 apprenticeships by 2030, as the group continues its recovery from last year's cyber incident affecting member data.
