Store manager Stuart Harris said: “The store is looking fantastic, and we can’t wait to welcome our loyal customers back so they can see it for themselves. We’re

The format has been created to make shopping easier for Polmont customers, and the new-look store will now have more space and clearer signs to make shopping effortless.

Fresh bread and cakes have been moved to the last aisle preventing them getting squashed under customers’ shopping and the store will now offer new, easy-to-browse freezers.

When the store re-opens it will also be running a special school wear event.
