To improve its sustainability, the store has a recycling unit for soft plastic packaging, including bread bags, biscuit wrappers and pet food pouches.

According to Co-op, the redesigned store is larger than the group’s two existing sites in Gourock combined. It will create 25 jobs for local communities.

The store will offer a 10% discount off groceries for Young Scot cardholders and Gourock students with TOTUM cardholders.

Co-op store manager Mike Grant said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to launch Co-op’s newest store, and we are really looking forward to welcoming the community into their new-look Co-op.

“Our aim continues to be to operate at the heart of local life, and we have worked to develop the range, choice, products and added services to create a really compelling offer to serve the community, conveniently.”

In November last year, Co-op reopened its Pilgrims Hatch store in Brentwood, UK, following a redesign.

The expanded store offers an increased product range with a focus on fresh, healthy products, meal ideas, everyday essentials, beers and award-winning wines.

It also sells vegan and plant-based products, including GRO, an exclusive vegan range by Co-op.
