Killearn Co-op in Stirling relaunched last Friday (27 February) with a fresh new look following an eight-week investment programme to ‘transform’ the community store.
Pupils from Killearn Nursery School joined Store Manager David Stone to officially cut the ribbon.
The shop, which employs 14 local residents, now features a Costa Coffee Express, bakery and an extensive range and choice of fresh and healthy products.
This sits alongside Co-op’s meal deals and food to go; Fairtrade products; ready meals; fresh meats and dairy; chilled beers and wines and, everyday essentials.
Parcel collection services are available in store through Amazon and DPD, with the addition of a new InPost Locker.
Peter Palmer, Co-op Area Manager, said: “We’re delighted to invest in Killearn, the store has been transformed with a great new look. We’re focussed on backing high streets and communities, creating stores that are a hub locally and contribute to local life – conveniently meeting the needs of their community. The store has a focus on offering quality products, value and choice that can be enjoyed by everyone, along with a range of added services including coffee, bakery and parcel collection services. We’re here to contribute to local life and conveniently serve and support our community.”
Soft plastic recycling is available in store – making it easier for shoppers to return and recycle materials that are often not universally accepted via kerbside recycling, such as crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches.
Co-op’s Killearn store is one of 18 stores Co-op confirmed it would open in the first three months of 2026, these are either brand new stores or stores re-launching after transformative investment.
