Portree store finishes eight weeks of renovations
THE Co-op has reopened Portree’s Bank Street Co-op store on the Isle of Skye following on from an eight-week programme of improvements to the store.
Marking one of two Co-ops in the Portree area, with a larger store located on Woodland’s Road in the town, the new Bank Street store has opened its doors once again following on from investments in the community store.
Co-op Bank Street now includes an in-store bakery and a focus on fresh and healthy produce complete with food-to-go options and meal deals, Fairtrade products, pizzas, flowers, ready meals, off-trade and everyday essentials.
Further to this, new refrigeration units in the store will also continue the Co-op’s wider work to cut its carbon footprint, with soft plastic recycling services also available in the store.
The store has also embraced more modern day technology with self-scan tills to provide some additional ease, speed and convenience for locals at busier times.
Co-op members will be able to create additional value with personalised offers and lower prices on products and Young Scot cardholders will also receive discounts in the store.
Joan Harkiss, store manager at Co-op, said: “The whole team is delighted to invest in Portree and relaunch Co-op’s Bank Street store. It looks fantastic, transformed with a bright and fresh new look.
“We pride ourselves on being able to deliver the quality, choice and value which can be enjoyed by everyone, and really look forward to welcoming our members and customers back into their local Co-op.
“We’re here to contribute to local life and conveniently serve and support our community.”
