Great news for Co-op members who frequent The UpFront Club.

The previously limited five per cent discount has now been extended to all purchases at the Club by members. Yes, you read it correctly: the five per cent member discount now includes all meals including hot-box snacks and all soft drinks and beverages including wine, beer and spirits.

The Board recently conducted a review of Club operations and decided to extend the discount to all purchases made by current financial members. This will simplify operational procedures at the Club and leave a few extra coins in our members' pockets.

Note that the discount does not apply to Monday evening 'happy hour' (5.30–6.30 pm), as alcoholic beverages are already available at special low prices.
