Downton Co-op to get new look

9:40am Sunday 9th September 2012 in Headlines By Journal Reporter

THE Co-op store in Downton is set to get a new look.

The Co-operative is investing £165,000 into refitting the shop, in The Borough, and it will close next Thursday for work to be carried out, reopening a week later.

Additional rangers are to be brought in; including fresh meat and chilled products, and four tills will replace the checkouts on the kiosk. Manager Mark Theis said: “We operate in the heart of the community and by doing so provide an ideal location for people to shop locally. It is important that we continue to meet people’s needs and provide a welcoming environment in which to shop.

“Upgrading the store will freshen up the shopping experience and improve the vitality of the area, so I look forward to welcoming customers into the new-look store.”
