@BryanRoberts72 I confess, this is me. A paper-based system for favourites. The future. Think the average shopper buys 300 different products a year

First protection screens being installed, amazing team achievement to design, manafacture & get to rollout in days, particularly given Co-ops long history means practically every store is a different shape & size !#RetailHeroes

[Defra UK @DefraGovUK]

We’re working with supermarkets to make sure you can get what you need

If you can’t get to the shops:
✅Ask for help from those close to you
✅Use a home delivery service
✅Remember to keep a 2 metre distance
