Co-op set to open its latest store in Wales at the site of a former magistrates court

The Co-op is set to serve-up its newest Welsh food store in Prestatyn next month following a £600,000 investment.

Its store – located on Victoria Road - runs on 100% renewable electricity and will create 15 jobs.

The new food store – which is approximately 2,500 sq ft will open on Friday July 5.

There is also a new Greggs Bakery opening on the same site in the coming weeks.

It is part of a retail and homes project being build on the site of the former Prestatyn Magistrates Court, which closed in 2016.

Katie McFaul, Co-op Store manager, said: “We are delighted to have had the opportunity to make such a significant investment in Prestatyn, we have been having a great response, and we are looking forward to serving the community – our ambition is to establish the store at the heart of local life.

“It’s a great way for us to mark the 175th anniversary year of the Co-op!”

Michael Gallagher, Co-op Area Manager, said: “The store will have a great look and range, it’s all about getting closer to our members and customers, providing what they want, need and care about, conveniently.

“We also want customers to know that they can become a co-owner and member of their Co-op, and that the Co-op gives back to its Members and the community - our Members help us to make a difference locally, raising money for local causes simply by swiping their Membership card when they shop with us.“

Greggs said that it planned to create 10 jobs when it opens its bakery at the development.
