Holbrook refurbishment

Our Holbrook Food store was the first to be refurbished in 2025 as part of our ongoing refurbishment programme. The Holbrook store reopened with brand-new services as well as upgrades to lighting and refrigeration to make it more energy efficient.

Investing in Capel St Mary Food store

We followed on from this with the refurbishment of our Food store in Capel St. Mary in June. The Food store saw the same eye-catching visual improvements as Holbrook, as well as new services and sustainability improvements, upgrading the energy efficiency of the site.

A fresh look for Barham

Finally, in July, our Barham Food store became our final major refurbishment in our programme for the year. We re-opened the site with several new services and sustainability improvements.

Modernising our stores for the future


As with all our refurbishments, a big emphasis was placed on improving the food-to-go offering in our stores, leaning into our members and customers shopping habits. We’ve created sleek, modern environments to shop in, but also environmentally friendly food stores, using LED lighting, cleaner refrigerant gas and in some cases solar panels on roofs. The first-in-class refurbishments brought these stores in-line with our brand-new stores and will allow us to build on our reputation as one of the most modern and convenient shopping destinations in the region.
