Delph Co-op reopen on 13 December 2024. After a six-week transformation project, bringing new life to the store on King Street, Oldham. The store’s dramatic makeover delivers fresh produce, meal deals, and vegan products to the local community. Customers can enjoy extended services like Amazon parcel collection, ATM access, and online grocery delivery through Deliveroo and Co-op’s own platform.
The Delph Co-op relaunch supports 12 local jobs while offering improved convenience for Greater Manchester residents. Store Manager Michael Ogden expressed pride in the new-look store. “The whole team is thrilled with the transformation. It’s a fresh, modern space built to serve and support our community,” Ogden said.
The new layout emphasizes fresh, healthy, and chilled options, ensuring quality meal ideas and everyday essentials. Popular features include an expanded bakery, food-to-go section, Fairtrade products, and award-winning wines. Ready meals, pizzas, and plant-based products also added to cater to diverse dietary preferences.
Supporting British Farmers and Sustainability Goals
Delph Co-op remains committed to supporting British farmers. All Co-op-branded meat, used in pies, sandwiches, and ready meals, is 100% British. Customers can enjoy local flavors while supporting the UK farming industry.
Sustainability takes center stage in the revamped store. A soft plastic recycling unit now accepts items like crisp packets, bread bags, and pet food pouches. Co-op ensures that all food packaging is either locally recyclable or returned in-store. This initiative aligns with the Co-op’s broader environmental goals and appeals to eco-conscious shoppers.
Enhanced Digital and Community Services
Digital innovation is a key part of the new Delph Co-op experience. Grocery orders placed on Deliveroo or shop.coop.co.uk picked fresh from the store and delivered quickly. This service ensures convenience for busy customers, enhancing the store’s value in the local community.
Amazon parcel collection and ATM access provide additional convenience for locals. These services highlight Delph Co-op’s dedication to meeting diverse community needs. Extended opening hours, from 7 am to 10 pm, make the store more accessible than ever.
Benefits of Co-op Membership
Co-op membership offers exclusive perks, including member-only savings and personalized offers through the Membership App. Members also play an active role in the governance of this consumer-owned co-operative, ensuring their voices are heard.
The Delph Co-op reopening reflects the Co-op’s 180-year history of putting its community first. This transformation project showcases the company’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and local investment.
Michael Ogden added, “We’re excited to welcome customers back into their Co-op. This store designed to meet their daily needs and more.”
Delph Co-op’s reopening is more than just a facelift. It’s a pledge to serve Oldham better, delivering quality, convenience, and sustainability to its loyal customers.
