Schoolchildren performed the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the official launch of the new-look Co-op store in Lamlash.
Store manager Canice Donnelly presented pupils from Lamlash Primary School with £200 for school funds to mark the launch, which took place on November 29.
Canice said: ‘As a community retailer it is appropriate that we involve the community in our special events and we are delighted our local school is playing a central role in the relaunch of the store.’
After a £225,000 revamp the shop has a modern décor, new fittings and eco-friendly refrigeration as well as a more shopper-friendly layout.
Canice added: ‘We provide a much valued service and I am confident the new-look store will meet the daily food-shopping needs of the community much better. The improved store is a real asset.’
The new-look store’s range of fresh foods has increased by 25 per cent and there is a wider selection of alcoholic drinks. The paypoint service has also been retained.
