A new Your Co-op Food store opened its doors in Pineham Village yesterday (Thursday 20th May), located on Dragonfly Way. Pineham Village is a new community development situated on the outskirts of Northampton.
The store has created 15 jobs for the local area and will offer essential grocery items, from fruit and vegetables and fresh meat to a range of chilled beers, wines and spirits. It will also be home to an in-store bakery, hot food counter, Costa Express coffee machine, Paypoint and National Lottery terminals.
Your Co-op is part of The Midcounties Co-operative, which is one of the largest independent UK co-operatives and is fully owned by its members.
Customers at the new store will have the option of becoming a member of the Society, giving them access to exclusive member-only deals as well as special offers from across the Your Co-op group of businesses.
Members also have a say in how the Society is run, including the work it does to support local communities in partnership with local volunteers and community groups.
The new store is part of the Society’s continuing investment for the future, which will see a total of six new food retail store openings in April, May and June, with a total investment in food retail of almost £3m in 2021.
Ben Lewis, store manager, said, “We can’t wait to open the doors to our new convenience store and meet the local community. We’re really looking forward to welcoming members and customers and I’m sure they’ll be impressed with the wide range of products and services we have on offer.'
The stores’ opening hours will be 7am to 10pm every day throughout the week.
