Next Wednesday the store will also launch Click and Collect which allows its customers to shop from the stores website online before picking their items up from the store.

Renovations include a shiny new open-plan bakery, deli, a wider layout for the fresh food areas and more space to cater for more than 1000 new items of stock now sold at the store.

"Dubbo is a growing community, and we've considered the needs of our customers as part of the renovation," Ms Brien- Tetrie said.

"We're excited for them to embrace our new bakery and deli, but also enjoy thousands of new products that we've introduced across the store."
