Business / Supermarket sign takes a tumble

THE FRONT of the Co-op supermarket in Lerwick is looking somewhat bare after its sign fell down last night (Wednesday).

As pictured above, shoppers were greeted with the long signage in a heap in front of the supermarket’s windows on Thursday morning.

No-one was injured in the incident and customers can use the main entrance and exit as normal.

A Co-op spokesperson said: “The safety of our customers and colleagues is of utmost important and our stores and signage undergo regular maintenance.

“We are investigating the incident at Lerwick Co-op which took place yesterday evening and checks to the remaining signage are being carried out. The store is trading as normal today.”
