Lucy King, store manager, said: “We are really looking forward to serving the local community.

“We’ve worked to develop the range, choice, products and services to create a really compelling offer, conveniently.”

Co-op Upwell will have a John Lewis click and collect service from December 3 as well as the already installed Amazon lockers.

There’s also grocery click and collect services available for that ‘extra customer convenience’.

The store will be open from 7am-10pm daily.
