The new Co-op being built in Crosby won't open until the Island's borders re-open.
That's according to the company's area manage Andrew Corrie - who says UK contractors are needed, but the company won't do that until it's safe to do.
Originally, the store was estimated to open by late summer and will mark an eleventh outlet for the Co-op on Island.
Mr Corrie explains why the borders needs to open so the store can be ready:
