The Co-operative food has confirmed that it is developing plans to relocate its Main Street, Pembroke, store.

The new store is expected to open during 2017 and would represent a significant investment in order to transform the Co-op’s presence on Main Street and, enable the retailer to better serve the community.

The new store would have a focus on fresh, healthy food, meal ideas and essentials. It would also launch a Community Pioneer role in-store.

Underpinning the Co-op’s commitment to playing its part and making a difference in the local community, a Community Pioneer is a member of the food store team who also works to foster involvement in community activities such as local fundraising initiatives and working with local charities, schools and voluntary organisations to make a difference locally.

A spokesperson for The Co-op, said: “The Co-op is investing to transform and grow its convenience business and is developing plans to relocate its Main Street, Pembroke, store in order to better serve the local community.”
