New Co-operative Food Store in the West End

As a Labour and Co-operative Councillor I was pleased to see that the former Somerfield Store in Brook Street in the West End has been rebranded a Co-operative store by the Co-operative Group. I am a member of the Co-operative Group and I would urge local people to consider joining the Co-operative Group, the co-op business model is different and this allows the customers to become members and have a say on how the business is run. I think that this message is more important now than ever before after the traditional share holder model has proved not to be the only answer. There are of course many other stores in the West End which I hope you will support not least of which is Scotmid's Monring, Noon and Night Store on Blackness Road.
