Co-op store relaunched after £500k makeover

THE Co-op in Rainhill has re-opened following a £500,000 makeo- ver.

The new-look store on Warrington Road will bring a funding boost to community groups in the areas through its membership scheme.

Members receive a 5% reward on the purchase of own-branded products and services, with a further 1% for good causes including Rainhill’s Old People’s Luncheon Club.

The new Co-op open its doors on Friday, May 19.

It will have an in-store bakery, Costa coffee dispense, hot food, household and electrical items, alongside its focus on fresh, healthy foods, meal ideas and essentials.

Store manager Rob Gainey said: “We are thrilled to have made such a significant investment in Rainhill – it is an exciting time for the whole team and we are looking forward to welcoming the community into their new-look store – the Co-op is moving forward with a clear purpose and momentum and our ambition is to establish the store as a local hub, a real asset for the community.”

There will be offers and promotions in and around the new store to mark its re- launch. Students in Rainhill holding the NUS extra card will receive a 10% discount off their groceries.

Co-op area manager Dan Wood added: “We want shoppers to know that they can become a co-owner and member of their Co-op.

“We are also giving back to the community. Our members can make a difference locally simply by swiping their membership card when they shop with us, raising much needed funding for organisations in the area who contribute to improving local life.”
