A MAJOR supermarket chain is set to close one of its branches soon, with another 34 also on the way out.
The food store announced the “difficult decision” it has made to close the store next month.
Co-op in Leicestershire’s Derby Road in Ashby-de-la-Zouch will permanently close its doors on Saturday, November 22.
A statement from a Co-op spokesperson read: ” ‘Our store in Ashby-de-la-Zouch will close next month.
“Our priority is to fully support colleagues, who have been informed.
“We would like to thank the community for its support of this store.”
The supermarket giant has come under some fire for some time now for having two of its stores in close proximity with the Ashby Town Centre.
This came after the Central Co-op moved from the top of Market Street to near the existing Co-op.
The spokesperson added: “We carry-out reviews of our existing store locations, and, sometimes, only after very careful consideration, we take the difficult decision to close a store.”
The Central Co-op will remain open, with the next nearest one approximately three miles away in Moira, Swadlincote, Derbyshire.
It comes as the supermarket could shutter another 34 of its stores due to financial struggles.
The Sun previously reported that stores in Braintree, Chelmsford, Basildon, Thurrock and Southend are among other locations that are at risk.
Chelmsford Star Co-op said it is “struggling financially” and needs to merge with the larger Central Co-op society.
Issues are also said to have been “exacerbated” by increases in National Insurance contributions and the living wage.
Late last year, Co-op announced plans for a “portfolio reshape” which included relocation of stores.
The Co-operative has over 7,000 registered branches owned by 17 million members, and is reported to contribute around £35 billion annually to the British economy.
Co-op as an organisation organisation has, like most companies, been hit by the cost of living.
In December last year it was announced 19 Co-operative stores would be shut down across the UK due to “financial sustainability issues”.
The locations, based in various areas around Central England, include Leicestershire, Yorkshire, Norfolk and the West Midlands.
B&M bought three of the 19 stores, while Samy Ltd, a convenience retailer, snapped up 16.
This comes as Co-op is rolling out a major change to stores across the country.
The supermarket giant is replacing paper product tags with electronic labels throughout its whole estate over the coming months.
The retailer has already made the change in 340 branches but will roll out the tags more widely.
The chain said 1,500 stores will have the labels by the end of the year and will be rolled out across all its nearly 2,400 by the end of 2026.
The electronic labels are designed and created by VusionGroup, which also works with Asda.
Steven Logue, Co-op’s head of operations, said: “With convenience at the heart of everything we do Co-op is committed to continually exploring innovative technology that can improve how we operate.”
Co-op said the new electronic labels will show allergen and nutritional information and products’ country of origin, as well as deals and savings.
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
THIS is the incredible moment a 10-year-old hero sister with quick thinking stopped her younger brother from choking – saving his life.
Footage showed the siblings jumping on a trampoline in their backyard when the seven-year-old brother began choking.
It all started when sister Lia and brother Logan started playing a game which involved eating sour candies while jumping on the trampoline.
However, Logan began choking as soon as he put one of the treats in his mouth and tried to swallow.
The clip showed him stopping abruptly and clutching his chest as the candy got stuck in his throat.
As Logan began choking on the candy, Lia quickly began patting his back and performed the Heimlich manoeuvre.
The candy then flew out of his mouth, relieving Logan from the discomfort.
The clip was shared by the local police, who revealed that Lia learned the life-saving technique from a babysitting guide and her mother.
Her mum Heather James, told NBC News: “It was a hard watch,’ their mother.
“As much as it hurts my heart to watch, I’m just so proud of her.”
Mum Heather is a member of the Lavon Police Department’s special programs division, which teaches different life-saving courses.
She revealed she was in the kitchen when the terrifying ordeal unfolded, but said Lia rushed in to tell her everything.
She added that her son Lpgan “swore he will never be on the trampoline with a piece of candy again”.
It’s a parents worst nightmare to imagine a situation in which they have to save their child from choking.
But in that moment, it may be you who will have to step up and perform first aid.
The NHS says if you can see an object lodged in your child’s mouth, take care to remove it because blindly poking at it could make things worse.
If the child is coughing, encourage them to continue as they may be able to bring the object up. Don’t leave them.
If the coughing isn’t effective (it is silent or they cannot breathe properly), shout for help immediately.
If the child is still conscious, use back blows.
First aiders at St John Ambulance give the following advice based on the child’s age.
Baby
2. Squeeze it out:
3. If the item does not dislodge, call 999 or 112 for emergency help
Child
1. Cough it out
2. Slap it out

4. Call 999 or 112 for emergency help if the object does not dislodge
DONALD Trump has been declared in “excellent overall health” after undergoing his second medical check-up of the year amid bizarre death rumours.
The 79-year-old has received weeks of fevered speculation over his bruised hands and swollen ankles.
The oldest elected president in US history, gave reporters a thumbs-up as he returned to the White House following the routine examination at Waloter Reed military hospital outside Washington.
“President Trump continues to demonstrate excellent overall health,” his doctor, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, wrote in a letter released by the White House.
“His cardiac age – a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG -was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.
“He continues to maintain a demanding daily schedule without restriction.”
The check-up included a battery of routine tests, an updated COVID booster and Trump’s annual flu shot, Barbabella confirmed.
It comes three months after the White House announced Trump had been diagnosed with a vein condition, following speculation over bruising on his hand and swelling in his legs.
Earlier this week, officials described his Friday’s appointment as an “annual” check-up – despite the fact Trump already had one in April.
He then referred to it as a “semi-annual physical,” telling reporters: “I’m in great shape, but I’ll let you know. But no, I have no difficulty thus far… Physically, I feel very good. Mentally, I feel very good.”
The former president then launched into a trademark tirade, comparing his health to his predecessors.
“I also did a cognitive exam which is always very risky, because if I didn’t do well, you’d be the first to be blaring it, and I had a perfect score,” Trump said.
“Did Obama do it? No. Did Bush do it? No. Did Biden do it? I definitely did. Biden wouldn’t have gotten the first three questions right.”
In July, the White House revealed Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a benign but chronic condition common in older adults.
The bruising on his hand was linked to the aspirin he takes as part of a “standard” cardiovascular health program.
Trump has frequently appeared in public with heavy makeup on the back of his right hand to cover the bruising, fuelling months of wild speculation.
“President Donald J. Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and physical performance,” Barbabella wrote in a separate memo released Friday night.
Trump spent roughly three hours at Walter Reed for what the White House described as a “scheduled follow-up evaluation.”
Barbabella’s letter said the check-up involved advanced imaging, lab testing and preventive health assessments, as the president prepares for upcoming overseas trips.
In recent months, false claims that Trump had died went viral online, with the hashtag #whereistrump trending in August after he wasn’t seen in public for several days.
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones even urged followers to “pray for Trump,” claiming without evidence that he was in a “health crisis” and “looked like he was about to collapse.”
The rumours were ultimately quashed when Axios journalist Barak Ravid reported that a US official had confirmed the president was in good health.
