Midcounties Co-operative to open three stores in Gloucestershire

By Liz Wells in Industry News 20th April 2021

The Midcounties Co-operative has invested more than £1.4m to open three new Your Co-op Food stores in Gloucestershire this spring.

The new Bishop’s Cleeve store opened on 15 April at Homelands Commercial Centre, creating 15 new jobs for the area.

This will be followed by the Lydney petrol station store, on Highfield Road, which will be opening on 29 April. The newly-refurbished convenience store will create new 22 jobs for the local community.

The third store to open will be the Your Co-op Bream store, on Coleford Road, which is expected to open in late spring and create 20 jobs.

All stores will offer essential grocery items and a range of chilled beers, wines and spirits. Each store will have an in-house wine expert, who will be on hand to provide customers with advice on the best wine choices, as well as ideas for food pairings.

Additionally, the stores will offer locally sourced products known as the Best of our Counties range, an in-store bakery, Costa Express coffee machine, and Paypoint and National Lottery terminals. The Lydney petrol station store will also have a hot food offering.
