The reopening of a popular supermarket was a success last Friday (November 22) as numerous locals showed their support.
Tycroes Supermarket opened its doors for the first time since November 3.
Owner Mandip Dale and his family showcased their newly renovated store which has been rebranded from Premier to One Stop.
Tycroes Supermarket posted on their Facebook page:
“A very big thank you to everyone who supported us yesterday, especially the children who sang Welsh songs in our shop!
“Our staff, the contractors, family, friends and community! Our family have been proud to serve the community for 40 years and we will continue to do so.”
The first 50 customers on the reopening day were given One Stop hessian shopper bags.
Meanwhile, five customers got their hands on Golden Tickets that were hidden around the store and each walked away with a £20 One Stop voucher.
The rebrand means the supermarket will stock of a variety of One Stop’s own label products alongside well-known brands, including produce, meat, dairy, ready meals and desserts.
Tycroes Supermarket want their customers to enjoy top quality food without a big price tag.
In addition to pupils from Tycroes Primary School singing Welsh songs, the reopening also featured an appearance from Tina Higgins and members of the community council, Tycroes local aid charity, local business owners and a ribbon cutting.
While the store was being refurbished, Mr Dale and his family kept their service going by opening a temporary shop with a 20-room container.
Mr Dale has long-term plans for the supermarket after taking over from his father, who retired last year.
He and his wife are keen to maintain a good reputation, by continuing to give back to the community.
