Lizzie Sheppard, branch manager at Co-op Travel Lichfield, said: “Our newly designed branch has quickly become a talking point in the city, with both new and returning customers noting its connection to Lichfield’s roots in the cooperative movement.

“As a team with a combined 80 years of experience, we’re proud to see that tradition continue to evolve in our new home and we look forward to helping locals make more travel memories this year across a variety of locations.”

An official ribbon cutting will take place at the new branch at 11.30am on Wednesday February 25.

Locals will be able to enjoy refreshments and cupcakes and have chance to win prizes through a Lucky Dip giveaway, with Co-op Holidays vouchers worth up to £150 up for grabs plus four Lichfield Garrick Theatre tickets to see a performance of Disenchanted in April.

Sara Dunham, chief officer for specialist businesses at OurCoop, said: “Our Lichfield branch’s reopening marks an important moment for Co-op Travel as we look to evolve our high-street presence as part of the wider OurCoop family.

“We're proud to be part of a strong OurCoop community in Lichfield, with FoodCoop, FuneralcareCoop and Little Pioneers Nursery all located nearby. This means locals can access a range of trusted services within the city – including planning their next adventure with us to picking up everyday essentials and arranging important family milestones.

“Our new branch includes more digital features to inspire adventures across the globe and through Co-op Holidays we provide quality breaks with added value built in. From carefully selected accommodation to experiences that make your holiday truly special, when you book with us, you're booking more than just a trip away."

The new Co-op Travel Lichfield is located 31 Baker's Lane, Lichfield, near other OurCoop businesses including Little Pioneers Nursery, FuneralcareCoop, FoodCoop, and Little Pioneers Nursery based in nearby Walsall. 

It will be open six days a week from Monday to Saturday at 9.30am to 5pm.
