Here's what you need to know: The new store, the second to be announced in Ipswich this year, will replace the former Renault dealership on 345 Woodbridge Road.
It will feature on-site parking, a wider range of products, and environmentally friendly features.
The current Brunswick Road store staff will relocate to the new site.
The store is set to open in spring 2025, subject to planning permission.
Why it matters: This move is part of the Co-op's £5m plan to reshape its retail portfolio, with five new food stores announced this year alone.
What they're saying: Doug Field OBE, Chief Executive Officer for the East of England Co-op, said: "We're excited to announce plans to open a new store on Woodbridge Road, Ipswich. This new location allows us to provide an even better shopping experience for our customers, with a larger, more modern space and the convenience of on-site parking, whilst relocating all our fantastic colleagues from our nearby Brunswick Road store."
The bottom line: The new Woodbridge Road store aims to enhance the shopping experience for Ipswich residents with modern facilities and a focus on environmental sustainability.
