THE CO-OP store at Fearnhead Cross will close for a 10-day period next month as a refurbishment takes place.

The Insall Road store will close for just over a week on March 8 before reopening with a new look on March 18.

The store’s duty manager Suzanne Parr said: “It is to be closed for 10 days while the refurbishment goes ahead and once it is done it will become a Gen2 format and with us being close to the university it will make students more aware of the discount they can receive.”
