forward to welcoming members and customers into their new Co-op, it is an
exciting time to be involved in the opening of the Co-op's newest store.
The Co-op is moving forward with a clear purpose and momentum. Our ambition is
to establish the store as a local hub, a real asset for the community. We want
shoppers to know that they can become a co-owner and member of their Co-op. We
are also giving back to the community. Our members can make a difference
locally, simply by swiping their membership card when they shop with us they can
raise much needed funding for organisations in the area who contribute to
improving local life. There are offers and promotions in and around the new store to mark its launch,
plus students in Ormskirk holding the NUS extra card will also receive a 10%
discount off their groceries."
