A Blairgowrie store is poised for a £300,000 expansion.
Co-operative bosses have unveiled plans for a major overhaul of their Coupar Angus Road outlet.
They want to transform the store into a “hub” for the local community.
The refurbishment is due to start next week and the shop will be closed for nearly a fortnight.
Store manager Andy Donaldson said the new look store will reopen on Thursday January 29.
Mr Donaldson added: “The Co-operative is a community retailer and we are committed to playing an active role in local life, embracing the area’s community spirit.
“The store will be a hub for the local community and customers will be able to find out what is going on locally and learn about how the Co-operative can benefit local groups.”
The work will include an expansion of the bakery at the store.
As part of the upgrade, the store has appointed a new “community pioneer”, Alison McCaig.
The Co-op has also lodged an application for planning permission to change the colour of the shopfront.
