LOCAL children will be the stars of the show on Thursday when they perform the ribbon cutting ceremony to officially launch a new look store in Ulverston.

The unveiling of the £400,000 revamp of the Co-operative, in Market Street, will see pupils from Sir John Barrow Primary School presented with a donation of £200 for their school’s funds by store manager Rachel Jackson to mark the occasion.

Mrs Jackson said: “As a community retailer it is appropriate that we involve the community in our special events and we are delighted our local school is playing a central role in the relaunch of our store.”
