Co-op’s new store will include an in-store bakery, hot food and, Costa coffee dispenser, as well as post office services. This sits alongside an increased focus on fresh, healthy products; meal ideas; everyday essentials; food-to-go; Fairtrade products, chilled beers and award winning wines; ready meals and pizzas and, free-from; vegan and plant-based products, including Co-op’s exclusive vegan range, GRO.

The Click and Collect of groceries is also available through Co-op’s own online shop - shop.coop.co.uk - for added ease and convenience.

David Suttie, Co-op Store Manager, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to launch Co-op’s newest store. The store has a great look and feel and we are really looking forward to welcoming the community into their new-look Co-op.

'Our aim continues to be to operate at the heart of local life, and make a positive difference in the community.

'I would like to extend a very warm welcome to new customers and, to our existing members, customers and friends of Kelty Co-op - we have worked to develop the range, choice, products and added services to create a really compelling offer to serve our community, conveniently -

A soft plastic recycle unit is also available in store to enable the community to recycle ‘soft plastics’ including: crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals and yogurt pots, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches. This means that all Co-op’s own food packaging is recyclable through either local authority kerbside collections, or its in-store soft plastic recycling unit.
