A new branch of the Co-op is set to open in Gidea Park tomorrow.
Open to customers from 6am on September 10, this new store is set to be managed by Tommy Roberts.
He told the Recorder: "It's exciting. This new store has created 16 jobs, so it's good for the area. It feels like a really friendly community too."
Tommy recently introduced himself to other businesses in the vicinity of the Main Road site, and is happy to report a warm welcome.
The site was previously home to a branch of American Golf.
With estimated investment of £1million, this new store will also offer online Click & Collect and a John Lewis parcel collection and returns service (to commence the week after launch).
This store - located opposite the Nisa - will be open seven days a week from 6am to 11pm.
