Other services include National Lottery and, payment services via PayPoint.
Self service tills have been added for extra ease and convenience, especially at busier times.
The store is one of 50 new or refurbished stores Co-op is opening during November and December across the UK.
Joe Morris, Co-op’s Area Operations Manager, said: “We are delighted to invest in Blaenavon. The store has been completely transformed with a fresh new look and layout to enhance the shopping experience. We’re proud to be part of local community life. We have a focus on being a hub locally for the community, delivering the quality, choice, value and added services which can be enjoyed by everyone – we’re here to contribute to local life and conveniently serve and support the community.”
