Barossa Co-op redevelopment to begin

16 February 2016

The Barossa Co-op’s $25 million redevelopment of the retail co-operatives supermarket in Nuriootpa is set to begin in the coming months with the former Mitre 10 Trade building will soon be demolished.

The new supermarket is part of a 10-year strategic plan, which ensures the 70-year-old co-op remains at the heart of Barossa retailing. It is planned to build a new complex in the current parking area outside the Foodland store and in a reverse, eventually make the current store site the Barossa’s first undercover car park.

The co-op chief executive officer Graeme Longmuir said

“The development is part of our commitment to re-invest in the Barossa community and support this region’s growth. In fact, it means employment for over 100 people during construction and over 200 jobs ongoing.”

The new supermarket ready to open in 2017.
