Co-op Launches New Look Whitby Store

The Co-op launched its new look store in Whitby in September following a £1.8 million makeover.

The store on Langborne Road was refurbished during the summer months and staff worked really hard so that the store stayed open throughout, allowing residents and visitors to the town to still do their shopping. The Mayor of Whitby, Linda Wild, a local resident and loyal customer cut the ribbon to launch the new store on Thursday 2 September. At the refreshed store, you can still find all the things you value - not only the usual fresh fruit and vegetables, seasonal favourites, everyday essentials, Fairtrade and big name brands at a great price, but also an extensive range of fresh, healthy products, award-winning wines, ready meals and pizzas, free-from, vegan and plantbased products. There is also a delicious bakery section where a great range of bread, buns and beautiful cakes can be found, all freshly made in our instore bakery along with a choice of hot food savouries and a simple-to-use Costa Express coffee machine, so you can still pick up a cup of your favourite brew and treat yourself to a sweet or savoury goodie for your morning coffee break! At the rear of the store can be found The Original Factory Shop, which has a great range of sportswear, women’s fashion and items for both home and garden, including many big brands with up to 70% off recommended retail prices.
