Cooroy community members are thrilled about a new family-owned supermarket opening in town, leaving them spoilt for choice with the lowest prices possible.
Mayor Clare Stewart and Geoff Wimmer attended the grand opening of the store, with plenty of excited customers.
Wimmers Factory Shop & Save Store Manager Paul Bateman said the wide aisles were a hit was the customers, as were the prices.
“The Wimmers Factory Shop & Save supermarket is all about providing customers with an everyday low price,“ he said.
“Wimmers soft drinks and the Wimmers family have been an integral part of Cooroy and as many would know this is where Wimmers soft drinks were produced for a large part of the last century.
“So we decided to continue having the Wimmers name attached to this piece of land as tribute to a part of Cooroy’s history.
“We didn’t want to replicate what the IGA is doing down the road, we wanted to offer shoppers a genuine choice for shopping in Cooroy. So while you will still find all your quality brands, we have simplified our processes to offer the lowest price possible. You won’t find the service deli or butcher shop like you would in other stores, but you will find low prices every day.“
