Southern Co-op has announced that two Sussex stores will be closed on Easter Sunday.

The company said both its Cakeham Road shop in East Wittering and Bramber House shop in Falmer will be shut on April 5.

A spokesperson said: “The stores will be open and operate as usual on Good Friday (3rd April), Easter Saturday (4th April) and Easter Monday (6th April), so customers will still have plenty of opportunity to pick up their seasonal essentials before and after the day itself.

“Sussex stores in The Square in Angmering and Rose Green Road in Bognor Regis will be operating as usual, and stores in nearby in Surrey will also remain open on Sunday for anyone caught short on the day.

“Shoppers can check opening times and find their nearest store via the Southern Co-op store locator: www.southern.coop/store-locator.”
