Improvements have included the introduction of an extensive range of ready meals and expanded health food offerings, new refrigeration cabinets, an

upgrade to the service area and an increase in the Discount Dave's range.

The shopping centre has also undergone an extensive facelift with the installation of heating, cooling, lighting and new flooring, as well as external painting and improvements to the car park.

With a strong commitment to the local community, Director of the Bernardi Group, Joe Bernardi says the launch will mark the beginning of a new era for Blayney shoppers.

"Shoppers can now enjoy a marketplace atmosphere with fresh bread baked daily, the expertise of an instore chef, hand cut and wrapped cheese, bulk meat range from the butchery and of course a market style fresh produce department with the best in quality and value from predominately local and Australian growers."

"We want to give the residents of Blayney and surrounding communities every reason to shop local, and believe this upgrade will help to achieve that," he says.

The Bernardi family invites everyone to join them for the Grand Opening Saturday, December 5 at their Farm Lane address in Blayney.

"We will have plenty of entertainment on offer, especially for the kids, with face painting, charity barbeque, balloons, Santa photos from Blayney Photography and food and wine tasting for the adults," says Mr Bernardi.

Shoppers will also have the opportunity to win prizes every hour as well as 6 months' worth of groceries simply by spending $50 or more using their smart shopper rewards card instore between December 5 2015 and January 30 2016.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our loyal customers for their patience during the renovation and look forward to offering a unique and improved shopping experience for everyone," says Mr Bernardi.
