Co-Op to Become CK Supermarket, Waun Fawr Aberystwyth
Being back at home over the summer you get to miss out on local news happening in the area of your University whilst being away.
I have recently found out that a popular student supermarket store in Aberystwyth is to become a CK Supermarket.
The Co-Op store was opposite the main University Campus and the Cwrt Mawr University Halls of Residence.
I’m disappointed that Co-Op have lost this store to CK supermarkets, it was an important store with students using it all the time.
I’m sure CK Supermarket will be just as good but what a blow to Co-Op.
The Reason for this
Co-Op recently acquired Somerfield and part of this acquisition is for Co-Op to meet regulatory local competition rules, which means they must get rid of a store because they now own the Somerfield store in the heart of Aberystwyth Town.
It makes sense that the business doesn’t own two large stores in Aberystwyth as it pushes out other businesses from moving in.
I’m glad to an Independent store gain control of a powerful store in Aberystwyth.
