THE newly refurbished Co-op store at Cricklade Road, Old Town, has reopened with a brand spanking new extension.

Manager Claire Reynolds said: "We are delighted to launch this attractive store which is the very latest concept known as Swift Shops.

"We feel they are an exciting new way of catering to the needs of today's time pressured shoppers, many of whom are in business and may only have their lunch hours to do their shopping.

"The shop has improved access, has the latest refrigeration and, thanks to air conditioning, a much more comfortable environment for shoppers or people just taking one's time looking round."
