Children from Columbus School and College joined our management team and Society President, Tony Price, in relaunching our new look Melbourne Food Co-op in June.
SEN pupils from the school, which is just a few minutes walk from the community shop, visit the store at least once a week where they learn about how to use cash, food hygiene and healthy eating, social rules and a whole host of other skills that many of us take for granted. We were so pleased they were able to join us in launching the store and each received a goodie bag as thanks.
Our Melbourne store undertook a remarkably thorough refit, which was remarkable as it was only closed for two days. You can take an online tour around the shop here.
Changes included a smart new My Coffee Station, expanded layout and revised product listings, new instore decor and an updated cool black exterior. It also adopted the International Co-operative Alliance’s globally recognised logo, making it the latest of Chelmsford Star’s shops to join the international co-op family.
