Salford 's newest Co-op store has been officially opened by Coronation Street's Kirk Sutherland.
The shop, which spans 5,300 sq ft, has taken over the former Booths site at MediaCityUK, filling the empty lot left behind after the posh supermarket chain closed its doors in early 2021. The previous store shut citing lower footfall after people began working from home as one of the reasons for closure.
Coronation Street star Andy Whyment, who plays Kirk Sutherland on the cobbles, officially opened the store on Thursday, May 26, as Co-op have a partnership with ITV - which sees the fictional Weatherfield served by a Co-op as part of the show's set.
