A CONVENIENCE store in east Reading is due to reopen this week following a refurbishment project.
The Co-op store on Erleigh Road has been completely revamped inside, and will include an in-store bakery, a Costa Coffee machine, and an opportunity to buy hot foods.
The cashpoint outside the store will also remain, and the store will continue to act as a hub for the company’s click and collect service and partnerships with delivery firms such as Deliveroo.
The new-look store will open on Friday, September 1, and its regular opening hours will be 7am to 11pm daily.
Store manager Manmohan Gill said: “We are extremely proud to be relaunching our Erleigh Road store with a fresh new-look and an increased offer.
“We have worked hard to develop product ranges and services that will create a really compelling offer for the community and provide an even more convenient, quality way to shop than before.”
Once it’s back, services such as its in-store bakery, Costa Coffee dispenser, hot plate and free 24-hour cashpoint will be restored.
The store employs 25 staff members, and the work has created one additional role.
