A community food store in Coalville, where colleagues have been going above and beyond to support locals during these uncertain times, has been given a fresh new look following an investment of over £100k.
The Central England Co-op in Cropston Drive, Greenhill, has received a raft of updates to give it a fresher, lighter feel and to include several new ranges and features to boost its offering to the local community.
This follows the store’s colleagues working around the clock to ensure vulnerable people across the community have continued to have access to vital food and essentials through the pandemic.
The community food store has been undergoing a makeover in recent weeks with changes including:
• An updated product range to better reflect customers’ requirements including an improved food-to-go section
• New features such as a brand-new Costa Coffee machine and a Tango Ice Blast Machine
• New internal signage and decoration including a refreshed kiosk area
Store Manager Dan Cooper said, “The team and I are feeling great about having this investment in our store and it has given the morale a real boost after a tough year for everyone.
“We can’t wait to show our community the transformation as our customers have been really interested in what has been happening and popping in to see what’s changed every day. I would like to thank them for their patience while the work has been completed but I hope they agree with us that it has been worth it.”
The Cropston Drive Food Store is open every day Monday to Saturday 7am-10pm and Sunday 8am-10pm.
