“The store is so important to us, our family and our staff. We’ve even kept our service going in the last few weeks with by opening a temporary shop with a 20-room container.

“We have been part of the community for a while, and we plan to stay here a lot longer.”

Mandip and his wife began running the shop, after Mandip's father retired last year. (Image: Mandip Dale) Mr Dale took over the business from his father, who retired last year.

It is Mr Dale and his wife’s first year running the shop, and they are keen to maintain a good reputation.

Mr Dale continued: “We haven’t really changed it, compared to how my mum and dad used to run it. We want the community to feel like they can rely on us as we continue to be here going forward.”

However, the supermarket has changed it’s branding from Premier to One Stop.

“We have new products and it’s a new promotion. It was a natural process. We are still independent.”

The reopening will also feature the charity Tycroes Local Aid, church and chapel leaders, local business owners, members of the community and a ribbon cutting.
