Co – op travel are considering plans to increase its shops, however online booking is still far cheaper than anything a high st shop can offer…

Co-operative Travel boss Mike Greenacre has revealed the retailer could open up to 150 shops over the next four years.

If approved by the Co-operative Group board, the proposal could see the UK’s largest independent travel agency chain growing its network to up to 650 to 700 shops, giving it national reach to rival the big two.

Greenacre said even including Midcounties and Midlands Co-ops shops, which are part of the Co-operative Travel Trading Group, the Co-op chain had about 250 fewer outlets than the Tui Travel and Thomas Cook networks.
