Filling station unveils its new look

A Lincolnshire Co-op filling station has opened the doors to its brand new food store for the first time.

Gibbet Nook Food Store and Filling Station – on the junction of the A153 and B1192 near Coningsby – is nearing the end of a £1 million programme of investment to redevelop the site and its valued services.

The work has included new fuel pumps, improvements to the forecourt and a purpose-built food store to replace the old kiosk, creating eight new jobs.

It offers fresh and chilled food, beer and wine, hot food to go and a Costa Coffee machine so customers can refuel themselves as well as fill their tanks. The site now also includes 14 new car parking spaces for shoppers to use while they browse, including two disabled parking spaces.

The old kiosk stayed open while the store was being built and will now be demolished so the space can be reused. The site closed from Monday 20th August while the old kiosk was demolished and reopened on Friday 24th August.

Some final touches to the forecourt, including an extra fuel pump in place of the old kiosk, will be added in September to finish off the site’s fresh look.
