A supermarket in Bridport has had a £1 million makeover.

The Co-op food store in Sea Road North has re-launched following a transformation.

The 11,300 sq ft convenience store supports more than 30 local jobs and runs on renewable electricity. The spacious new-look store includes customer car parking, bakery, free ATM and Amazon parcel collection alongside a range of food and drink.

Click and collect is also available through Co-op’s online shop.

Students in Bridport who are TOTUM cardholders (NUS extra) can get a 10% discount off groceries.

Store manger Gary Golder said: “The store has a great new look – we have had a great response. The improved layout is so much more spacious.

"We are delighted to have had the opportunity to carry out such a significant investment to enhance and improve our store for the Bridport community – we have worked to develop the range, choice, products and services locally that will create a really compelling offer locally.”

Co-op’s Community Shopping Card makes it easier for those self-isolating or who have been instructed to stay at home to shop and pay for their essentials - cards can be purchased or topped-up by calling 0800 029 4592, enabling people to shop on their behalf.

The Co-op has raised funds and donated stock to provide more than five million meals for the food charity Fare Share, which provides essentials to community food banks across the country.
