The Co-op will open a new store in Garnant this summer A NEW Co-op convenience store will be opening its doors in Garnant as part of a £650,000 investment which will create 15 jobs. The former Arcade Terrace site, is being transformed into the new store, which is due to open in July and will run entirely on renewable electricity. Co-op said a number of measures will be in place at the new store to aid social distancing. These include contactless card payment limits of £45, and a Community Shopping Card scheme to make it easier for those self-isolating to shop and pay for their essentials by enabling friends, families or volunteers to shop on their behalf in store.
Store plans for site of Arcade Terrace REVISED plans to transform a notorious eyesore in the Amman Valley have been lodged. New owners of Arcade Terrace, Garnant have submitted an amendment to previously approved plans for a retail unit with residential apartments for the site. NMJ Property Holdings Ltd has said it is seeking to make minor changes, which are a requirement of the prospective occupier of the site to allow them to trade from the unit. Following the demolition of the former buildings eight years ago, the Arcade Terrace site had been earmarked for a mini-supermarket but that deal fell through and work was halted at the site.
