A YORK supermarket will reopen next week after a £280,000 revamp.

The Co-operative has given its store in Beckfield Lane a new look, and its opening day on Thursday will see pupils from Carr Infant School cut the ribbon alongside manager Ginette Speed, while they will also receive a £200 donation towards school funds.

The scheme will see the store get a new layout, signs and an in-store bakery.

Ginette said: “We operate in the heart of the community, and by doing so we provide an ideal location for people to shop locally.

“It is important we continue to meet people’s needs and provide a welcoming environment in which to shop. Upgrading the store has freshened up the shopping experience and improved the vitality of the local area.”

The company said the new store would continue to stock a range of fresh fruit and vegetables and fresh meat, as well as Fairtrade products.
