Co-op has invested £2.25m to develop the two stores and expects to create up to 30 jobs.

The retailer will focus on offering product categories such as healthy foods, meal ideas, food-to-go, and essentials to customers.

Co-op area manager Simon Taylor said: “We are investing in our people, stores, products, prices and communities.

“Our aim is for stores to be at the heart of local life, bringing communities together and offering great quality products, when and where our members and customers need them.
