franchise Co-op in Hayes, West London.

ailasapillai Sivathasan, known to his customers as ‘Siva’, has opened a new Co-op store in Hayes. The store, on the site of the Old Vinyl Factory on Material Walk in Hayes, launched under the Welcome co-operative brand, stocking local, ethical and Fairtrade products, and is open seven days a week, from 7am to 10pm. The store, a franchise partner of Southern Co-op, follows a £250,000 investment in the Hillingdon town. Southern Co-op, the regional, independent co-operative, has more than 200 stores in the south of England and a commitment to local communities. The opening of the store has created 10 jobs in both full- and part-time roles, providing a muchneeded boost for the west London community.

For two weeks from opening, customers of the store will be able to win a £100 voucher and grab other goodies – including £5 off a £20 spend, and £1 off fwip ice cream. Working with Southern Co-op’s team, Siva has created a 1,300 sq ft modern convenience store with grab-and-go hot freshly baked food. Siva said: “Our focus has been to get the new store up and running as quickly as possible, ensuring we service the needs of our customers. The support we’ve already had from local people has been amazing. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the finished store. It’s a fantastic working environment for staff and it’s great for customers. It’s been worth the investment and the hard work that’s gone into it and now hopefully we will see the rewards.”
