Bristol Co-op Re-Launches Following Investment Programme To Transform Local Community Convenience Store

A Bristol Co-op relaunches following an extensive programme of improvements to ‘transform’ the store.

The Broomhill Road convenience store supports 14 local jobs and re-opens with a fresh new-look following the investment in the community store.

Broomhill Road’s Co-op is the second of its stores in the area to relaunch in recent weeks after undergoing a major makeover, following the re-opening of the convenience retailer’s Avonmouth store last month.

The 3,000 sq ft store includes an in-store bakery, Costa Coffee Express and increased range of fresh and healthy produce, alongside its focus on food-to-go and meal deals; Fairtrade products, pizzas, flowers; ready meals, award winning wines and every day essentials.

New refrigeration supports Co-op’s work to reduce energy use and cut its carbon footprint, and soft plastic recycling is also available, enabling shoppers to return harder to recycle materials such as crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches.

Self-scan tills provide additional ease, speed and convenience especially at busier times.

The store is also a fulfilment hub for Co-op’s leading quick commerce operation, with groceries picked fresh in the local store for fast and convenient online home delivery locally through Co-op’s own online shop – shop.coop.co.uk – and its partners Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo.

Member price savings create additional value for Co-op’s member-owners, with personalised offers for members and lower prices on the products shoppers buy most.

Supporting UK farmers all of Co-op’s fresh meat – including in its ready meals, pies and sandwiches - is 100% British.

Lucas Holbrook, Co-op’s Store Manager, said: “The whole team is delighted to invest in Bristol and to relaunch Co-op’s Broomhill Road store. We have had a great response. It looks fantastic, transformed with a fresh new look. We pride ourselves on being able to deliver the quality, choice and value which can be enjoyed by everyone, and really look forward to welcoming our members and customers back into their local Co-op. We’re here to contribute to local life and conveniently serve and support our community.”

Co-op is one of the world’s largest consumer-owned co-operatives, with its history dating back 180 years. Its 6.2m members own the business and play an intrinsic part in the governance of the organisation.
