PUPILS from a city school have helped open a £120,000 new-look food store in Hereford.

The children, from St Martin's Primary School, officially launched the revamped Co-op store on Holme Lacy Road - and were handed £200 towards school funds by store manager Stuart Williams as a thank you.

"As a community retailer, it is appropriate that we involve the community in our special events and we are delighted our local school is playing a central role in the relaunch of our store," said Mr Williams.

The re-fit of the Co-op store includes a modern decor, eco-friendly refrigeration, and a more shopper-friendly layout.
