A grand reopening event is happening to celebrate the £1.7m revamp of a town's Co-op store.

The Co-op in Halesworth has been revamped, with a relaunch event on Friday, June 30 to celebrate the major investment.

The store is said to have a new and improved store layout, revamped toilets, car parking, and outdoor customer seating.

An Insomnia Coffee Shop has been added as well, expanding on the previous café. It will serve Fairtrade coffee, snacks, and cakes.

The Café in the Co-op, which was run for many years by Maureen Took, will continue its legacy as Mrs Took and her team will continue to work at the new Central Co-op store.
