Co-op set to serve-up new store…

It will include: coffee; bakery, fresh, healthy products, meal ideas, award winning wines, ready meals and pizzas, free-from, vegan and plant-based products, Fairtrade, and, everyday essentials.

A funding boost is also provided locally through Co-op’s Membership programme. Membership of the Co-op unlocks additional value through in-store offers, and sees Members rewarded with 2p in every pound they spend on Co-op branded products which is added to their own personal Membership account balance. The Co-op also donates the same amount to local causes.

Students in Media City who are TOTUM cardholders – the new name for NUS extra – receive a 10% discount at the Co-op.

Chris Moss, Co-op Acquisition Manager, said:

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to open a new convenience store to serve the Media City community – Co-op is committed to operating at the heart of local life, and we are working to develop the range, choice, products and added services locally that I am confident will create a really compelling offer to serve the local community.”

Chris Reay Property Director for MediaCityUK said: 

“We are delighted that Co-op will be joining our MediaCityUK community. The Co-op Group has continuously proven to have a positive impact on local communities, and they are the ideal partner to meet our ever growing residential, worker and visitor community demand. This promises to be a very exciting and innovative partnership and we are delighted that they have identified MediaCityUK as a place they want to be part of.”
