A popular convenience store in Stoke-on-Trent is set to be taken over by an independent operator next month.

Co-op confirmed to Nub News that its branch on Weston Road, Meir, is being sold and will be taken over by an independent retailer trading as a Nisa store.

A spokesperson for Co-op said: "Co-op regularly reviews its stores and the decision to sell any store is only taken after careful consideration.

"Our Meir store is being sold, and a key priority has been to safeguard local jobs.

The new store will operate as a Nisa (Nub News).

"Colleagues, who have been informed and are being fully supported, will transfer to the new operator.

"The new store will operate as a Nisa store, meaning that Co-op favourite products will remain available locally. We would like to thank the Meir community for their support of the Co-op."

The final day of trading as a Co-op store is expected to be 13 July and the store is currently open 7am-10pm seven days a week.
