Central England Co-operative is serving up some fantastic treats for tennis fans by coming up with the perfect survival kit to help fans of Andy Murray and co enjoy the tournament at SW19 over the next couple of weeks.
As part of the Society’s Summer of Sport campaign, a range of products are up for grabs for customers to sample what life is like for spectators at Centre Court.
On average, visitors to the global spectacle enjoy 235,000 glasses of Pimm's, 142,000 portions of strawberries, 28,000 bottles of champagne and 54,250 balls used last year – and now you can follow in their
footsteps in your own home following a visit to Central England Co-operative.
Members and customers can settle down to watch the action unfold while tucking into some delicious strawberries for just £2.
They can then take a quick break from the enthralling tennis by enjoying a refreshing bottle of Prosecco for just £6.99 or they could enjoy one of the favourite drinks of the summer Pimm’s for £12 a bottle.
Anyone who does not fancy an alcoholic beverage can enjoy the official drink of Wimbledon Robinsons fruit squash by picking up two bottles for £2.
Anyone looking to emulate Serena Williams or Novak Djokovic can also head outside to play by picking up a pack of three tennis balls for just £3.
Central England Co-operative is also urging customers to share their summer experiences by taking pictures of themselves enjoying the tennis via social media using @mycoopfood #mycoopsummer
