A salad bar, the local chicken range and the introduction of a new locally produced smoked ham and bacon product from Comboyne will just be some of the new improvements, according to deli manager Joy McKenzie.
"The customers are very important to us and we appreciate that times are changing," said Joy.
"People want quality meats, reasonable prices and a new and changing product range.
"We want our customers to know we have taken their feedback on board and will be incorporating a larger range of local products into our meat section, a new range of chicken products and the new look salad bar".
"The Wauchope deli is also planning to expand into ready-made meals to suit the changing meal requirements for some people, and we will certainly continue to provide our famous seafood, antipasto, sandwich and or cheese platters, as well as all of our great traditional customer service" said Joy.
These changes follow the recent introduction of the price matching program through all Co-op IGA Supermarkets that has seen prices matched with competitors on hundreds of everyday items.
According to Hastings Co-op Wauchope SUPA IGA manager, Darren Partridge, the changes are nearing completion.
"Price matching and the new store layout has been a challenge to put in place, but now we are nearly done it looks fantastic and it really provides a better range of display in products and it is better suited for everyone to shop at ease," said Darren.
"To the customers, thank you for your patience while we made these important store changes and please if you have any questions just ask for me personally, I am only too happy to help."
