The Co-op store, which opens between 7am -11pm, has returned to its clover-leaf design logo, first used in the 1960’s - and, includes an in store bakery, and focus on fresh, healthy foods, meal ideas, award-winning wines and, essentials.
Chris Rees, Co-op Store Manager, said, “We are delighted to have had the opportunity to carry out such a significant investment in Llandeilo. We are proud to be part of the community, and our ambition is to ensure the store is a local hub, a real asset locally.”
Chris Ellis, Area Manager for the Co-op, added, “The Co-op is moving forward with a clear purpose and momentum. We are investing in our people, stores, products and prices and have the ambition for our stores to be at the heart of local life, bringing communities together and offering great quality products when and where shoppers need them.
'We also want customers to know that they can become a co-owner and member of their Co-op. And, that we are also giving back to the community. Our members make a difference locally, simply by swiping their membership card when they shop with us they are raising much needed funding for organisations in the area who contribute to improving local life.”
