The Corner Shop Makes A Come
Back In Girnigoe Street
Alistair
and Vivian Davis reopened the shop in Girnigoe Street after taking it over
recently. They set to and carried out repair work to floors and
decoration. The result is a very fresh and airy bright small local
store. They will stock many of the usual grocery items but are
expanding into other areas to make the venture viable. One side of
the shop will have a range of craft and art materials and later will add
art work for sale. In addition the shop will sell a range of
vegetarian, vegan and health foods. Alistair and Vivian reckon they
need to diversify the product range of the small shop if they are to
survive in the cut throat grocery trade. A sandwich
counter will have a range of food for lunch times.
Supplying
as many items as possible for people who want to get things without going
all the way to the supermarket or town centre is their aim.
The shop has been in Girnigoe Street for many years with different owners.
It is in a great location next to the government offices and at the end of
Willowbank making it one of the busy thoroughfares of Wick. Many
people walk by on their way to the town centre or home from work.
As they say their are three things you need to succeed in that business -
location location, location and they certainly seem to have that.
The Corner Shop In Girnigoe Street
seems to be sure of another successful phase in its history with a new
generation. |
