Co-op Travel To Celebrate New Branch in Cheltenham

This Thursday 12th February, Co-op Travel will be celebrating its new branch in Cheltenham with a special event.

The branch, which opened in December, marks the launch of a new strategic partnership between Co-op Travel and retailer TGJones, offering customers another way to plan and book holidays as part of their everyday shopping journeys.

Located on the first floor inside TGJones at 192–194 High Street in Cheltenham, the branch sits alongside established high-street brands Toys ‘R’ Us and The Post Office in the town centre and is a continuation of Co-op Travel’s long-term growth ambitions.

To officially welcome it to Cheltenham, an official ribbon cutting will take place at the branch on 10.30am this Thursday with long standing customers, Mr and Mrs Matthew, who have been booking trips with Co-op Travel for over 15 years, doing the honours.

To celebrate the opening, locals will be able to enjoy refreshments and cupcakes, as well as have the chance to win holiday vouchers through a Lucky Dip giveaway, with prizes including Co-op Holidays vouchers worth up to £150 as well as TGJones gift vouchers.

The branch team is made up of experienced travel consultants who can offer a full range of travel services, including package holidays, cruises, short breaks and long-haul travel from leading brands such as Jet2holidays, easyJet holidays, P&O Cruises and Marella Cruises.

Customers can also book tailor-made trips through Co-op Holidays, Co-op Travel’s holiday company, with a variety of exciting locations on offer, including Thailand, the UAE and Egypt.

The branch team are also on hand for destination inspiration, practical services such as airport transfers, and to provide ongoing support to customers throughout the booking process.

Sara Dunham, Chief Officer Specialist Businesses at OurCoop, said: “This opening marks an important milestone for Co-op Travel, both as our first partnership with TGJones and as a continuation of how we’re evolving our high-street presence, as part of the wider OurCoop family.

“By operating alongside well-known brands such as TGJones, Toys ‘R’ Us and the Post Office, we want to make it easier for customers to access travel advice as part of their everyday shopping, while continuing to deliver the trusted, personal service we’re known for.”

Emma Smyth, Commercial Director at TGJones, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Co-op Travel into our Cheltenham store, complementing our existing great partnerships with the Post Office and Toys ‘R’ Us, bringing even more convenience and choice to our customers.

“This new partnership reflects our ambition to develop our stores into busy high street hubs, bringing valued services and trusted brands together in one place. As a staple on UK high streets, we’re passionate about bricks and mortar retail, and giving customers a fantastic experience.”

Every booking made through Co-op Holidays helps support local causes and global sustainability initiatives, with £1 donated per passenger to charity partner Go Beyond and sustainability partner Ecologi, including the planting of a tree for every passenger who travels on a Co-op Holiday.

Co-op Travel Cheltenham is located inside TGJones, 1st Floor, 192–194 High Street, Cheltenham GL50 1EP.
