Brand new Co-op to open doors in Clipstone this week

The new Co-op in Clipstone will officially open its doors to shoppers on Thursday, August 13, after a major investment from Lincolnshire Co-op.

The £1.5m outlet on Cavendish Way has created 15 jobs for the local area.

There’s a range of services including groceries, baked goods from Gadsby’s Bakery in Southwell, food-to-go options, chilled beers and wines, 100% British meat, takeaway Costa Coffee and a free-to-use ATM.

It will stock products from Lincolnshire Co-op’s Love Local range, which features goods sourced from the area, including apple juice from Starkey’s Fruit Farm in Southwell. A Free From range will also be on offer.

The food store is in the Cavendish Park estate.

It features a car park with 29 spaces and will open from 7am until 10pm seven days a week.

Clipstone food store manager Fay Pardy said: “This store is the first Lincolnshire Co-op service in the local area and we’re looking forward to meeting customers and showing them what we’re all about.

“We have our own dividend card, which means members can collect and spend dividend, and our Community Champions fundraising scheme raises money for local good causes.”

Within the store, there will be social distancing measures in place including a limit on the number of customers shopping at one time, markings on the floor showing two metre distances, till screens and a sanitising station.

Customers visiting the store will be required to wear a face covering.
