Opening in Clarence Street, the new chain of stores are focused on serving meals throughout the day, to cater to the high-demand for high quality ‘food-for-now’.
Open between 7am-7pm, shoppers will be able to pop in for breakfast, lunch and dinner, whether grabbing a Costa Coffee, hot baguette, buttermilk chicken tenders or wholesome protein pots.
The stores also offer exclusive products. Customers can choose between all day breakfast meal pots, berry burst bircher and, apple and cinnamon overnight oats whilst a new deli-selection for lunch will serve offerings including smoked salmon, egg and spinach pots; sweet potato bhaji wrap; falafel and houmous salad bowls; chicken, bacon and avocado caesar wrap and, tomato, mozzarella & pesto focaccia bagels.
Online delivery options are available, allowing shoppers to deliver items such as Co-op’s Irresistible Pizzas to homes and offices via Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats.
The 550 sq ft Kingston store also offers seating and phone charging points whilst offering a small range of daily essentials including fresh fruit, tea, coffee and bread.
Jane Wells, Co-op Area Operations Manager, said: “The whole team is excited to launch our new concept store in Kingston where we are really looking forward to being part of the vibrant community, and welcoming members and customers into their new Co-op store.”
This is the Co-op’s fourth new ‘on the go’ store, following launches in Altrincham’s Stamford Quarter, Aylesbury and, in Solihull High Street.
Differing from its traditional convenience store format, the Co-op is focussing the new chain of stores in vibrant, high foot-flow locations.
Gary Williams, Co-op Director of Store Optimisation, said: “We are delighted to grow our ‘on-the-go’ concept with the unveiling of our Kingston store.
“Our new concept brings together an innovative blend of food-to-go propositions, with freshly prepared products designed to stand out in the high street.”
