Somerfield forecourt to display Co-operative fascia ‘within weeks’?

The Somerfield petrol forecourt in Cornwallis Avenue, Twydall, looks set to undergo its re-fit within weeks, AlanWCollins has learned.

Although, at present, the?time frame?is only a rumour, it is one which has come from a trusted source, and is believed to be true.

Originally, the Co-operative Group looked set to sell the forecourt after its acquisition of Somerfield Stores. Now, however, they have decided to keep the shop, which, at present, also contains a free-to-use ATM from Nationwide and an in-store bakery.

Rumours are that the petrol station will be displaying the unmissable green fascia (like the one at Princess Parkway, in Manchester, above) by Christmas, although the refit could be completed as early as the end of November.
