The Co-op filling station on Carholme Road has re-opened after a £750,000 investment – alongside a new pharmacy, which is set to open inside.
The new Lincolnshire Co-op pharmacy will move into the Winning Post Food Store and Filling Station on Carholme Road from its current site on West Parade.
The pharmacy will open at 8am on Monday, March 13. The filling station opened on March 10.

Shoppers have been able to use the food store throughout the works.
The filling station part of the site has been closed to allow changes to the layout and a new canopy, pumps and equipment to be installed.
Moving the pharmacy onto the Winning Post site means patients will benefit from a larger dispensary, consultation room and seating. The new pharmacy also has parking and an accessible entrance.
The pharmacy will open for 10.5 more hours per week – with patients able to use the service from 8am to 6.30pm from Monday to Friday and from 9am until 12noon on Saturdays.
Lincolnshire Co-op’s Head of Pharmacy Alastair Farquhar said: “This new facility will mean our team will be able to provide a range of services – such as NHS Medicines Use Reviews, health checks and consultations – more easily as the space has been purpose-built for our needs. It will make the experience of using the pharmacy more comfortable for our patients too.”
Food Store Development Manager Matthew Wilkinson added customers’ patience during the works was appreciated.
He said: “We know the filling station is convenient for many drivers coming into the city so we’re pleased to be able to reopen that part of the site.”

Villagers in Fiskerton remain cautious yet optimistic in the face of potential flooding, a month after they were advised to evacuate following a considerable amount of rainfall.
Several residents have continued to vigilantly monitor the River Witham’s water levels, prepared with sandbags outside their homes as a precaution after Storm Babet damaged two sections of the riverbank. But, despite the looming threat, there is a prevailing sense of confidence among the community, suggesting that further flooding is unlikely.
News that a £165,000 improvement project on the Handley Monument in Sleaford will commence early next year has been supported by local residents, who feel it is a much needed addition to the town centre, but it hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism.
North Kesteven District Council unveiled its plans for the historic Handley Monument in Sleaford, with a view to improving the surrounding area and also lighting up the monument to attract more attention to its role in the town’s history.
