A NEW Co-operative store is due to open in a former Barnsley pub next month.

Central England Co-operative is putting the finishing touches to its new store in what was formerly the Bush Inn at Kingstone.

The society will officially open the store at 9am on Friday June 22 with a special ribbon cutting ceremony.

The first 50 shoppers will be handed a golden ticket with which they could win a variety of prizes including a 49-inch Smart LED TV, Bluetooth speaker and Co-operative gift vouchers.

Peter Sayer, store manager, pictured at a previous Golden Ticket Giveaway when the Dodworth store opened, said: “Please come and join us at 9am on Friday, June 22, and you could be one of the 50 lucky customers to receive a golden ticket.

“There will be a great buzz on opening day and to celebrate the Food Store launch we will have plenty of special opening offers, we will be talking to customers about membership and how we can support in the local community. We look forward to seeing you there.”

The store will be open from 7am to 10pm every day.
