COPPLESTONE’S convenience store is set to shut for three weeks for refurbishment.

The shop’s last day of trading before the refit will be Friday, November 13. It plans to reopen on Monday, December 7.

“We’ve got some exciting news to share with our community,” said a spokesperson for Central Stores.

“We’re getting ready for a full store refit, which means a fresh new look, an improved shopping experience and a fantastic new store for everyone to enjoy. We can’t wait to show you what’s in store!

“To allow us to carry out these improvements, please take note of the following important dates and temporary service changes.

“Our last day of trading before the refit will be Friday, November 13. We are planning to reopen on Monday, December 7. [The] reopening date is subject to completion of the works.

“From Thursday, November 12, the Post Office will be operating on reduced services, with parcels only available.

“Please note that all outstanding parcels must be collected by close of business on Friday, November 13. Any parcels remaining in store after this time will be returned to the relevant carriers.

“We appreciate that these temporary changes may cause some inconvenience, and we’d like to thank everyone in advance for their patience and understanding.

“This is an exciting investment in our store and the community we serve. We’re working hard behind the scenes to create a fantastic new shopping environment, and we genuinely believe it will be worth the wait!

“We look forward to welcoming you back on December 7 to see our brand-new store.

“Thank you for your continued support. We can’t wait to share the next chapter with you!”
