A TYWYN supermarket has re-opened its doors following a £800,000 facelift.

The Co-op has reopened its store on Old Station Yard, Tywyn, following four weeks of upgrade work.

Representatives from Aberdyfi Search and Rescue along with children from the Margaret Barnard Playgroup and Pre-school were on hand to launch the store’s reopening for the community, with performances from the Ysgol Uwchradd Tywyn choir.

Edwards of Conwy and the Henllan Bakery, two of its Welsh suppliers, were also at the store on launch day.

The new-look store also delivers a funding boost for local good causes through the Co-op’s Membership scheme.

Diana Lewis, store manager, said: “We are delighted to have undertaken such a significant investment in Tywyn.

“Our ambition is to build on our work to ensure the store is a local hub, a real asset for the community.

“We also want shoppers to know that they can become a co-owner and member of their Co-op. And, that we are also giving back to the community.

Our members make a difference locally, simply by swiping their membership card when they shop with us they are raising much needed funding for organisations in their area who contribute to improving local life.”
