The shop has undergone improvements during the past nine weeks, with the aim of giving it a more “spacious” feel for customers when shopping.

There is also new refrigeration throughout the supermarket, leading to a better range of fresh and chilled produce, ready meals and frozen products.

An enhanced wine selection has also been added, as has a new-and-improved back of shop to support availability and replenishment.

Store manager Laura Parry said: “The store has a great new look.

"Customers have been saying how spacious and bright it feels, and we are really looking forward to members and customers seeing all the improvements following our relaunch.

"We have remained open throughout the works to serve the community, and we would like to thank our customers for all their support and encouragement during this time.

"Our aim is to operate at the heart of local life.

"We’ve worked to develop the range, choice and added services to create a compelling offer to serve and support our community, locally and conveniently.

"This includes a focus on delivering member-value so the people who own our business - our members - benefit every time they shop.”

The 7,000sq ft store, which is also a collection point for foodbank The Community Cupboard, employs nearly 30 staff.
