Work is complete on a £500k refurbishment of Lincolnshire Co-op’s food store, post office and pharmacy in the centre of North Hykeham.

The revamp means the food store on Lincoln Road now has extended hours on a Sunday and is open from 7am until 10pm seven days a week.

Shoppers are also benefitting from a new in-store bakery and a chilled beer and wine section.

There are new fixtures and fittings throughout and a brand new entrance has been built to separate the food store and post office from the pharmacy.

The pharmacy now has its own entrance and is more spacious. It has also been transformed into a healthy living pharmacy with more emphasis on health advice.

The dispensary and consultation room have been made larger, there is extra seating and more space for prescriptions.

Lincolnshire Co-op’s Store Development Manager Matt Wilkinson said: “We have 7,078 members in North Hykeham so we’re pleased to be able to invest in our range of services and improve what we offer in this community.

“We hope extending the food store’s opening hours on a Sunday will make shopping more convenient for local people and they’ll enjoy their new look food store, post office and pharmacy.”
