A WOMAN in her nineties who has been a regular customer for more than 50 years was invited to officially unveil a newly-vamped store in York.
May Richardson, 93, cut the ribbon to open the new look Co-operative food store on Beckfield Lane store which she visits every day following its make-over.
The nonagenarian was chosen by staff for the honour, and was joined by shop manager Ginette Speed.
Following the makeover, the new layout is designed to make shopping easier with a redesign focussing on good food, wine and modern cuisine.
Services such as Paypoint and The National Lottery have been retained.
Ginette said: “Our products will reflect that The Co-operative is the leading supermarket supporter of Fairtrade, and is committed to sourcing British products were possible.”
