New Your Co-op Food Store Opens in Sutton Coldfield

A new Your Co-op Food store opened its doors in Sutton Coldfield yesterday (Thursday, 6^th May). Located on Rectory Road, the store will create 18 jobs for the local area.

The store will offer essential grocery items, from fruit and vegetables and fresh meat to a range of chilled beers, wines and spirits. It will also be home to an in-store bakery, Costa Express coffee machine, Paypoint and National Lottery terminals.

Your Co-op is part of The Midcounties Co-operative which is one of the largest independent UK co-operatives and is fully owned by its members. Customers at the new store will have the option of becoming a member of the Society, giving them access to exclusive member-only deals as well as special offers from across the Your Co-op group of businesses. Members also have a say in how the Society is run, including the work it does to support local communities in partnership with local volunteers and community groups.

The new store is part of the Society’s continuing investment for the future, which will see a total of six new food retail store openings in April, May and June, with a total investment in food retail of almost £3 million in 2021.

Lee Johnson, store manager, said: “My colleagues and I are really looking forward to opening the doors to our new store and meeting the community.

We can’t wait to welcome customers soon and I’m sure they’ll be impressed with the wide range of groceries and products we have available.”

The stores’ opening hours will be 7am to 10pm every day throughout the week.

The store will be running a Swipe & Win competition for two weeks from its opening date, giving customers who are also Midcounties Co-operative members the chance to win their shopping for free.
