The shop in the Lincolnshire market town is first in line for a £160,000 refresh as part of Lincolnshire Co-op’s "cyclical refresh plan", which sees work taking place across its network year-round.
At the Louth branch, the space has been redesigned to reflect different modes of travel, with portholes on the wall next to desks shaped like aeroplane wings and a departures board on display.
A relaxed space has been created for customers just popping in, while there are tea and coffee facilities close by.
The Co-op said design features have been introduced to "make the space feel lighter", including a wall mural that gives the "illusion of big airport-style windows, and unique lighting features throughout".
The renovation will begin on Monday 1 September and is scheduled to take two weeks. During this period, staff at the Louth branch will temporarily work from Tritton Road Travel in Lincoln and will also be available to support customers via phone or video consultation.
Wayne Dennett, Travel and Post Office operations manager at Lincolnshire Co-op, said: “This is a massive transformation for Louth, and a sign of what’s to come within our wider travel business too.
“The new design features mean that our customers feel as though they have already started a new exciting journey as soon as they walk through the door.”
