East of England Co-op opened a new 3,000 sq ft store at Grange Farm in Kesgrave on Thursday, 15 October. Built from the ground up, it marks the retailer's first new opening of 2026, following two store launches in nearby Ipswich during 2025—one at Ipswich railway station and another on Woodbridge Road.
The store, named Pioneer Yard by East of England Co-op colleagues, is managed by Tina Page and offers fresh food, everyday essentials and an expanded range of food-to-go options. An in-store bakery serves freshly baked goods daily, alongside a hot food menu for customers on the move. The shop features Barista Bar's latest coffee machine, offering more than 100 drink combinations including hot and cold coffees, matcha tea and milkshakes. Evri parcel services are also available.
Andy Rigby, chief executive of the East of England Co-op, said: 'I'm proud to see our brand-new Kesgrave Food store open. Our teams have provided the community with a first-class food store and first-class team, led by Tina, to serve them every day.'
