Pupils from Castledon School in Wickford, along with their mascot cockerpoo Finn, have re-opened their local convenience store on Nevendon Road, following a ribbon cutting ceremony.
The Chelmsford Star Co-op store shut its doors on Saturday 28th January for a major refurbishment, having asked local co-op members and shoppers for their feedback.
Local Co-operative Society, Chelmsford Star welcomed dozens of charities and community groups into its quadrant department store (Chelmsford) on 7th February for a free evening of networking and presentations from expert speakers.
Guests, which included the Mayor of Chelmsford Councillor Patricia Hughes, filled the restaurant to hear four expert speakers discuss topics aimed to assist the groups in their day to day running. They included; social media tips, making the most of local radio, getting your group in the paper and available grants for local groups.
Poor growing conditions in Southern Europe have led to many supermarkets and convenience stores, including Chelmsford Star, struggling to meet demand for fresh fruit and vegetables.
Community award-winners, Chelmsford Star Co-op, are holding a free evening to support local groups and charities in raising themselves more money and awareness.
The ‘Grow Your Group!’ evening, at Chelmsford Quadrant on 7th February at 6pm, is being supported by the Mayor of Chelmsford, Councillor Patricia Hughes, and dozens of groups – from school PTAs to animal sanctuaries – have already pre-registered to join her.

We announced a growth of 9.46% to our food sales in the three weeks to 31st December 2016, as shoppers grabbed last-minute Christmas and New Year bargains from their 40 convenience stores in Essex.
On a ‘like for like’ basis sales increased by 6.04% in the 3 weeks, driven by improved availability of items on shelves and investment in stores during the year.
