CCF announce opening of new Carmarthenshire branch

Wales’s largest farmer-owned co-operative are excited to announce the upcoming opening of a new farm and country store in Carmarthen.

Located at Llanllwch, less than 500 yards from Carmarthen Livestock Mart, the new store is an important strategic move which enables CCF (Clynderwen & Cardiganshire Farmers Ltd) to further extend its trading territory throughout Carmarthenshire.

Serving both farming businesses and country dwellers, CCF supply a comprehensive range of agricultural, pet and equine products.

Ahead of the October opening, CCF Chief Executive, David Evans said “Our investment at Carmarthen shows our commitment to supporting members and customers’ with both their everyday essentials and new innovative products”.

“The opening of our Carmarthen store is the latest example of our co-operative investing in our members and is in response to requests from our existing Carmarthenshire members and customers for a local location to purchase our products”.

“The site location is convenient for customers from across west Wales who visit the nearby mart as well as local customers, supported by our team of colleagues providing quality advice and on-farm services”.

Will Prichard, Chair of the CCF board of directors added “This investment is in line with our farmer-controlled board’s strategic direction, with CCF being in a unique position to serve the agricultural community, directly reinvesting returns specifically for the benefit of its farmer membership not external city shareholders“.

The latest opening will create up to 5 new jobs and brings the total number of CCF sites across Wales and the borders to 19 stores, alongside a feed blending plant at Glanrhyd near Cardigan.

CCF’s Carmarthen store will be open Monday-Friday 8:15am – 5:00pm, and 8:15am – 12:00pm on Saturdays.
