Ulverston Co-op is set to reopen after a £650,000 renovation.

The Market Street shop will reopen on on July 29 with a new focus on fresh, healthy foods and essentials, and will offer an improved in-store bakery range.

The relaunch will be marked by offers and promotions.

Joanne Rockley, store manager, said: “We are thrilled to have made such a significant investment in Ulverston, and delighted that we have a fantastic new food store with which to serve the community, it is an exciting time for the whole team. “The Co-op is a community retailer, and we are committed to playing an active role in local life, embracing the area’s community spirit.

“As well as raising money for local charities, we will also be supporting the Co-op’s national partnership with British Red Cross to confront loneliness.”

She added: “The store will be a hub for the local community, and customers will be able to find out what is going on locally, and learn about how the Co-op can benefit local groups.”

The store will also have “community pioneer” roles for members of the food store team.

Annette Partridge, will work to foster involvement in community activities, helping to understand and develop solutions to meet community needs including support for the British Red Cross.
