He said: “We supply 30+ Co-ops and a few of them are in that region, and to add to that we have had a lot of demand from that area, with many of the public chasing us to come into the area and so we have been looking for some time for the right spot.
“As the first of our shops to be opened in the area, we’re looking forward to meeting new faces and getting to know more about the community.”
Bakery will open mid-July
With a opening date of mid-July, the store will offer an expanded offering to people who want more than the limited stock supplied in Co-op stores in the area.
