After listening to customers, the range of changes in the new store include: an improved Food To Go range; an improved deli counter as well as a Deli Express offer and a self-serve olive bar; more space dedicated to the Nutmeg clothing range including the menswear range; an expanded home and leisure offering; a florist selling bouquets as well as single stem flowers which can be made into an

arrangement for any occasion; installation of new checkouts and self scan machines.
