Co-op confirms 'difficult decision' to close store in The Meadows

The business has confirmed the date when the store will close for the final time

The Co-op has confirmed it has taken the "difficult decision" to close its store in The Meadows. The Nottingham store is located within the Bridgeway Shopping Centre and is set to shut its doors for good next month with the final day of trading set to be Saturday, November 16.

In recent months, the shop has been hit by crime on a number of occasions, including an attempted robbery on January 5, 2024 and the store being closed due to a police incident for several hours on May 6, 2024. There have also been issues with shoplifting at the premises.

Regarding the closure, a spokesperson for Co-op confirmed: “Co-op regularly reviews its stores. In addition to opening new stores we sometimes, and only after careful consideration, have to take the difficult decision to close a store.

"With the expiry of the lease our store in the Bridgeway Centre will close. Colleagues, who have been informed, are being fully supported with every effort being taken to offer alternative positions in the area.

"We would like to thank the community for its support of this store.” Following the closure of the store in The Meadows, the nearest Co-op locations for customers will be the stores on Station Street and Trent Bridge in Nottingham and Trent Boulevard in West Bridgford.
