Bosses at a Lichfield-based retailer say more investment in stores is planned for 2021 after revealing it had spent more than £10million on revamps this year.
Central England Co-op said the refurbishment of shops – including a £3million scheme at Boley Park and a £122,000 refit at the Curborough Road store – had taken place despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus crisis.
During 2021 the company has opened eight new food stores, a coffee shop and two new funeral booking offices. It has also carried out refits at more than 25 food store sites.
A spokesperson for the company said:
“The work throughout 2020 has been part of an ambitious development programme across the society’s food and funeral businesses, with further investment planned during 2021.”
