Young Chloe Fineman proved she's such a sweetie by grabbing handfuls of her favourite choccies during a trolley dash.

The seven-year-old, of Melville Drive, Wickford, was ecstatic with her £80 haul of goodies after racing round the town's Co-Op store for two minutes.

Anne Kebbell, of Dierdre Avenue, Wickford, also won a draw to take the adult trolley dash and came away with £165 of groceries.

The competition was held to celebrate the opening of the newly-refurbished Co-op, now called Altogether Fresher, in the Willowdale Centre.

The store boasts lower shelves for the elderly, a travel centre and longer opening hours for its post office.

Full baskets - Chloe and Anne were well satisfied with their hauls in the new store's trolley dash
