The former Premier convenience store, which was acquired by the

Co-operative Group last month, was transformed with a 275,000 revamp and conversion to the consumer-owned retailer's popular convenience format.

It features The Co-operative Group's new identity, The co-operative, which aims to highlight improved service standards across its 4,500 outlets in the UK, including its travel, pharmacy, funerals and bank branches, as well as its commitment to supporting local communities and ethical trading policies.
