New Stafford store opens complete with 'Pets corner' and community facilities
Supermarket group Central Co-Op has completed a "significant" transformation of its Stafford store as part of a programme of wider upgrades.
The company says customers can now benefit from a unique “pets corner”, along with an in-house florist, Café, and a free-to-book community room, which was unveiled with the help of pupils from Barnsfield Primary School.
Simon Smith, Head of Format Development Projects and Facilities at Central Co-op, commented: “These upgrades are about more than just modernising our stores, they reflect our ongoing commitment to delivering the best shopping experience for our Members and customers while strengthening our connection to the local communities we serve.
"Across all locations, customers can continue to enjoy the exceptional quality Central Co-op is known for, including COOK’s range of frozen meals, Insomnia Coffee, Tango Ice Blast machines, and a wide selection of pre-chilled wines, beers, and hot or cold lunch options."
Central Co-op is one of the largest independent retail co-operative societies in the UK, employing 7,500 people to serve customers across its 460 plus trading sites in 21 counties in the East and West Midlands, Yorkshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.
