NewRiver Retail, the owners of the The Royal Mail public

house are submitting plans in conjunction with the
Co-operative Food to provide a new convenience store.

The plans, shown opposite, involve the

demolition of the existing building. The design
of the new building will be sympathetic to
neighbouring properties.
The new store would offer local people high
quality fresh produce at great value and
would increase choice for local residents.
It will be focused on meeting day to day

shopping needs and it is expected that the

majority of customers will visit by foot from
the immediate area.
15 car parking spaces will be provided and
this is expected to be more than adequate
given that the average stay at stores of this
size is around 10 minutes. There will also be
a dedicated delivery area.

Proposed site plan

The Co-operative always seeks to employ from

the local community and the new store is
expected to create around 20 new jobs.
Industry-leading training and skills
programmes will also be on offer.

The new store will provide:

Fresh fruit, vegetables and meat
Ready meals
In store bakery
Food to go
Grocery essentials
Free cash machine

Summary
The proposals, for a new convenience store at at Main Road, Thorngumbald will provide:
A sensitively designed new building
More choice for local people, reducing
the need to travel to shop further afield
A modern, spacious facility that will
primarily attract customers on foot

An in-store bakery and focus on fresh

produce with the Co-ops Fair and Square
prices ensuring value for money across a
range of staple groceries
Adequate car parking
New jobs and training opportunities for
local residents

We hope that you will agree that this is an exciting new facility for you and your
local community. You can find out more information by contacting Lee Jameson
