Jonathan Gallup, Co-op’s Area Operations Manager, said: “The whole team is delighted to launch Co-op’s newest store in Coleford.
"As a former family-owned garage, the site has a long legacy at the heart of community life, which is also a commitment of the Co-op - we are proud to launch Co-op’s newest store here in Coleford.
"The store looks fantastic, and with a focus on delivering the quality, choice, value and added services which can be enjoyed by everyone, we’re here to contribute to local life and conveniently serve and support Coleford.”
Soft plastic recycling is also available in the store, making it easier for shoppers to return harder to recycle materials such as crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals, biscuit wrappers and pet food pouches.
Customer car parking is available, and the store opens between 7am-11pm daily.
The former garage, which is becoming a co-op, is located on Anchor Road in Coleford, near Radstock.
