Former Esso site re-opens as new-look Co-op forecourt and c-store

Bramley High Street Service Station has re-opened as a Co-op including a new-look convenience store to serve the community.

The former Esso site in Guildford, Surrey, now includes a 2,400 sq ft Co-op convenience store and has created 12 new local jobs.

The store includes a bakery, free ATM, hot food and Fairtrade coffee dispenser, alongside a focus on fresh, healthy products, meal ideas, food-to-go, award winning wines, ready meals and pizzas, free-from, vegan and plant-based products and, everyday essentials.

Co-op has also introduced the Click and Collect of groceries at the High Street store through its own online shop – coop.co.uk/shop – for added ease, speed and convenience.

Amit Tomar, Co-op store manager, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to open Co-op’s newest store and fuel station here in Bramley. We are really looking forward to serving the local community and welcoming them into their Co-op. We have worked to develop the range, choice, products and services to create a really compelling offer, conveniently.”

Dipen Thaker, Co-op area manager, added: “Co-op is committed to connecting communities and making a difference locally, and our aim is to operate at the heart of local life. We also want customers to know that they can become a Member of the Co-op. In addition to unlocking additional value and personalised offers for themselves, our Members help to make a difference to local causes - Co-op donates 2p in every pound to community causes when Members swipe their Membership card when buying own-branded products, so by shopping at the Co-op our Members are also helping to make good things happen in the community.”
