The £650,000 new Co-op store will open on Thursday in Stafford Road, Huntington.
It will be open between 7am and 10pm every day and include an in-store bakery, cash machine and Costa coffee dispenser.
Carol Battersby, manager of the Co-op's new store, said: "We are delighted to have had the opportunity to make such a significant investment in Huntington, the Co-op is investing to transform and grow its convenience business and to launch its first new store of the year is extra special."
Pupils from Littleton Green Community School and Staffordshire firefighters will attend the opening, each receiving a £100 donation each from Co-op.
Ms Battersby added: "We are thrilled that the Fire Service, the local school and, my daughter's band could join us to share in our special day.
"We are confident that the new store will be a real asset to the community, enabling shoppers to pick up delicious food conveniently and, as a community retailer and a co-operative, it will play its part in local life too."
