There were celebrations at a supermarket in Highbridge on Friday (August 13th) when it re-opened following a £170,000 revamp.
The town’s Somerfield store in Southwell Crescent has been given a makeover as it becomes a Co-Op.
Rob Prowton, store manager, is pictured above cutting a ribbon at Friday morning’s opening ceremony in the new-look store.
“As well as a new look and more spacious layout, the store features enhanced product ranges, with an emphasis on fresh foods,” Highbridge store manager Rob Prowton told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“We are proud to serve the local community and this investment in the store means we can now provide a much enhanced service. We will meet all the community’s daily food shopping needs and, in the best traditions of The Co-operative, make our contribution to community life.”
The revamp of the store – which employs 25 staff – follows The Co-Operative Group’s £1.56 billion acquisition of the Somerfield supermarket chain last year. All Somerfield branches are being converted to Co-Operatives by 2011.
