A petrol station in Knaresborough is set to reopen its doors after a 10-week long renovation.

Co-op petrol station on Boroughbridge Road will open tomorrow with a new look and a much bigger emphasis on the food store.

The convenience retailer has almost doubled the size of the food store which now covers more than 2,600 square feet. The filling station also has new pumps and and a new canopy.

Due to the renovation there are vacancies for up to four staff. In total the new-look site will support 12 jobs.

Inside the store customers will find a bakery, hot food, a Costa coffee dispenser, more fresh, healthy products as well as food-to-go, wines, ready meals and everyday essentials.

A new addition to the site includes a recycle unit for "soft plastics" which currently covers Co-op's own food packaging.

Scott Wilson, Co-op store manager, said:

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to make such a significant investment in Knaresborough.
"The investment has enabled Co-op to provide a new, improved and larger food store, create new local jobs and, overhaul the petrol filling station – to better serve our community.
"We have worked to develop the range, choice, products and parcel collection services to create a really compelling offer to serve the community with its food and fuel needs, conveniently.”


Michael Calvert, 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, Co-op donates to community causes when members swipe their membership card.
"So by shopping at the Co-op our members are helping to make good things happen in their community.”
