Sad day for the customers and staff at the Co-op Store in Glenfield.
Today is the last trading day, and the store will finally close tonight, after trading from this site for over 45 years.
We interviewed customers, most of them have been shopping at co-op for years.
The store is to be taken over by Morrison’s and will reopen later this year.
A spokesperson for Central England Co-op said: “We can confirm that the last day of trading at our Glenfield store will be Saturday, 25 January after previously announcing that we entered into an agreement with Morrisons to sell the site in Station Road.
“We would like to thank all staff for their commitment and dedication during their time with the Society. Staff are being transferred across as part of the sale, with colleagues retaining existing terms and conditions under Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment (TUPE) legislation
“Despite the sale of our store in Glenfield, Central England Co-operative remains committed to Leicestershire and is planning several new stores and refurbishments to ensure our members and customers continue to be served.”
