Southern Co-op Supermarkets in South Hayling
About
Southern Co-op's Elm Grove store is the main food shop on this stretch of South Hayling, serving residents and the island's summer visitors with fresh produce, an in-store bakery counter, chilled and frozen ranges, and a wide choice of wines, beers and spirits. The store doubles as a community hub, with a cash machine, PayPoint, an Amazon Locker and a food bank donation point, and it takes part in the Co-op's soft plastics recycling scheme. It opens early and stays open into the evening every day of the week, with shorter Sunday trading hours as required by law for a store of its size.
