The company saw like-for-like food sales climb 8% during the first three months of the year, although it declined to disclose sales figures.


A spokesman for the Co-op said the launch of the two ranges had been the two “principal” drivers of the rise in sales.


Sales of the Healthy Living stable wing at 40% a year after the company added over 100 products to the range. The Co-op also introduced over 200 products under its premium Truly Irresistible label, the spokesman said.


Following last year’s merger between the Co-op and United Co-operatives, the company is rebranding stores across its entire estate, which also includes pharmacy, funeral services and banking and insurance.
