Worksop: Work due to start on new £1.1m food store

It is being built at the site of the former Lord Byron pub off Plantation Hill in the Kilton area of the town and is set to create between 12 and 14 jobs.

The convenience store is due to open in February 2015 and will stock a range of groceries, chilled and frozen goods.

Store development manager, Matthew Wilkinson, said: “We are pleased to be extending our offer to more people, especially as this is a new area for Lincolnshire Co-op.”

“We looking forward to welcoming customers from Worksop into our brand new store when it opens in 2015.”
