Your new Co-op is coming
to Bridge of Allan

The Co-op in Bridge of Allan has served the community well for many years, however it’s an old building at the end of its useful life. Kingsmead Developments, in partnership with the Co-op, are delighted to be bringing forward the redevelopment of the property which will involve the demolition of the existing building and construction of a new purpose-built store with parking.

Project

Lenzie-based Fleming Build have been appointed as main contractor and will deliver the project with care and consideration. The works will require the closure of the car park for the duration of the contract which will inevitably cause inconvenience to the local community. We will do our utmost to minimise disruption and to complete the development on time and to a high standard.

Timescales

The existing Co-op store is scheduled to close on Saturday 9th August following which a temporary store will be erected on part of the site while the main works are being carried out.
