A neighbourhood Co-op store has reopened after being closed for nine weeks for refurbishment.
The store in St George's Road, Kemp Town, Brighton, has been increased in size by around one-third to more than 1,350 sq ft.
It reopened on Thursday morning and will now open from 6am each day instead of 7am.
The store, which employs 15 people, has an in-store bakery and will have an "enhanced focus on fresh, healthy and chilled produce", Co-op said.

People can order groceries from this store for home delivery via Just Eat and Uber Eats - with orders picked in the shop and then delivered quickly to residents.
An ATM provides access to cash and self-scan tills have been added for extra ease and convenience, especially at busier times.
Nicholas McPhail, Co-op store manager, said: “The whole team is delighted to have had the opportunity to invest in Kemptown - the store has been transformed with a fresh new look and layout. We are really looking forward to welcoming our members and customers back into their Co-op. It is always our aim to operate at the heart of local life and we have worked to develop the range, choice and added services to create a compelling offer to serve and support our community, conveniently.
"Co-op also has a focus on delivering value, with member price savings across a wide range of everyday essentials so that the people who own our business, our member-owners, benefit every time they shop.”
