SHETLANDâS independent food and drink sector is urging local politicians to fully assess and understand the likely impact of two new Co-op stores being built in Shetlandâs larger villages of Scalloway and Sandwick.
The proposal by the Manchester based national retailer was this week discussed by the member businesses of Shetland Food and Drink.

The organisation represents 85 local food and drink businesses ranging from small producers, independent shops, farming and crofting businesses, wholesalers, the local dairy to tour guides, hotels and B&Bs.
The Co-op has lodged plans to invest £1.2 million into creating two new convenience stores with the local planning authority. The company said this would create 30 new jobs.
