Not just for farmers

FROM work boots to pasta dishes, and everything in between, you never know what you might discover at the newly renovated Callan CoOp Homevalue store.

Formally Callan Co-Op’s Farmers Store, which opened in 1889 on Green Street, serving the local farming community with a full range of agri related products, a move to West Street in 2005 allowed the store to expand its product range to include more DIY, home and building products.

However, by partnering with Homevalue and undertaking a mammoth redevelopment of the store premises, the new look store has doubled in size and is now much more than simply a Farmers Store. It is a store for everyone.

O cially launched on Friday, March 31, Callan Co-Op Homevalue now supplies its most diverse range ever for homes, gardens and the DIY enthusiast.

Customers can expect to nd top-quality Canadia ooring, expanded paint supplies featuring Crown, Dulux and Fleetwood, and a range of garden furniture, accessories, footwear and protective clothing. e store also o ers a full range of animal feeds, equine products, fencing supplies, hardware, solid fuel products, gardening/landscape supplies, pet and bird food and accessories. With the new look store and expanded product selection Callan CoOp o er bigger, better and more competitively priced products.

A big investment into Callan

Every part of the existing building has been renovated, expanded and refurbished. The new Callan Co-Op Homevalue store spreads over 10,000 square feet, giving plenty of room to stroll and browse while you shop. It’s totally accessible for wheelchair users and baby buggies alike. With 40 free car park spaces on site (including disabled and family parking bays), it is conveniently located just off the Callan Bypass.

The expansion of the retail store and extensive re-development of the yard together with new branding represents the progressive nature of Callan Co-Op and will hopefully set them up for the next 100 years.

James Fitzgerald, General Manager of Callan Co-Op said, “Over the past two years we have completed huge improvements in our infrastructure which will help future proof the business.

“We have upgraded and increased our feed and fertiliser storage facilities. The concrete surfacing of the entire yard has resulted in a cleaner environment for us to run our business and increased our storage area.

“It has been an amazing journey from the original

“Farmers Store” to what is the new look Callan Co-op Homevalue Store on West Street. There is now something for everyone at Callan Co-op Homevalue.”
