Revamped Co-op pays dividends

MELTHAM schools lent a hand when a new look supermarket was re-launched last week.

The £300,000 revamp of Meltham’s Co-op store was marked by the cutting of a ribbon and youngsters from Meltham C of E Primary and Meltham Moor Primary took part in the presentation and received donations of £100 towards each school’s funds.

Store manager, Jim Gill, said: “As a community retailer it is appropriate that we involve the community in our special events and we are delighted our local schools are playing a central role in the relaunch of our store.”

The store will feature The Co-operative Group's new identity, The co-operative, which aims to highlight improved service standards across its 4,500 outlets in the UK, including its travel, pharmacy, funerals and bank branches, as well as its commitment to supporting local communities and ethical trading policies.
