Stamford retailer doubles the size of her Costcutter convenience store creating four new jobs




A newly-expanded convenience store has reopened its doors in Stamford with the creation of four jobs.

Retailer Emily Rosa Ranjini opened Costcutter on Green Lane on Saturday (July 11) with Grantham and Stamford MP Gareth Davies carrying out ribbon-cutting duties.

The Costcutter team welcomed shoppers on the day and invited them to enter a raffle to win three Amazon prizes including a Fire Tablet, an Alexa Echo Dot and a gift card.

Keen to offer local shoppers a greater range of fresh food and the option of doing a ‘full shop’ closer to home, Emily, who has been in retail for the past 18 years and also owns two other stores in the area, bought the unit next door so she could double the size of the store.

The shop offers a wide range of fruit and vegetables, fresh meats and chilled food as well as a hot snacks, frozen food, beer, wine and spirits.

Through Costcutter’s wholesale supply deal with Co-op, Emily will also be able to offer customers access to over 1,000 Co-op products within the store. The shop will also feature a Costa Coffee machine, a F’real milkshake machine and a One-Shot self-serve ice cream machine.

To help keep shoppers and her staff safe during the Covid-19 pandemic, Emily has ensured a range of safety measures are in place including facilities so customers can sanitize their hands before and after shopping, a one-way system and clear signage and floor stickers to help shoppers keep a safe distance apart.

Emily said: “I’d like to thank our customers for bearing with us during the refurbishment work and hope they agree it has been worth the wait. I’m confident our new range and offering will really appeal to existing and new shoppers alike. We can’t wait to hear what our shoppers have to say!

“Now more than ever, we want to support our local community to ensure they have access to everything they need during these challenging times. By extending the store and our product range I’m delighted we are now able to provide local shoppers with everything they need for a ‘full shop’ right here in their local store.”
