Residents can now now enjoy the new renovation to Coles in Heritage Springs Shopping Centre as its official opening was Wednesday 14 June.
Local shoppers may have noticed works being done over the last 12 weeks as a new bakery and deli were constructed, as well as new fridges to the meat section.
These provide new additions such as a flatbread made in house, a new customer bread slicer, new scoop and weigh section, a new bar for pet treats and a new mochi freezer.
This overhaul provides a modern look and more space for stocking a range a goods.
Store Manager Alen Ramic says the renovation gives the store an needed upgrade for the area.
“The shop was a bit of an older shop, we have more houses going up around the area, it’s just to open up and get more people through,” he said.
As an older store, there are many staff who have been serving Pakenham residents for decades, Sue Campbell, Andrew Cleary and Viviann Macaloney will celebrate 33 years with the Coles team this year.
Coles in Heritage Springs is also seeking staff currently, looking to add 15 team members this year.
