Good Afternoon,
It’s our last day trading today! Can't quite believe it.
We have been shocked by the number of people who have come in over the last few weeks and have been given the most handshakes & hugs we could have ever imagined. We have been given countless gifts and “thank you” cards and would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for your love and support.
We were nominated and Ian Murray MP subsequently awarded us a Community Hero Award for our 40 years of service after a number of our best customers, community, staff and suppliers wrote to him.
Shortly after the presentation, people started pouring in and we eventually (took a while) figured out that it was a surprise party. The shop was jam packed with amazing customers, staff, former staff, suppliers & neighbours.
Thank you to The Sicilian Pastry Shop on Albert Street for doing the big 4️⃣0️⃣ cake, it went down a treat!
Now we can put our feet up for a holiday and then look to the future together.
