These are strange and worrying times. Travel is discouraged and we are advised to avoid crowds. So how do we obtain the necesseties of life? Good job we’ve got our own shop!
Paula and her team (including a few volunteers) have been looking for a way to keep the shop open whilst protecting staff and customers. Here’s the plan, starting from Monday 23rd March:
When you enter the shop you’ll see that the furniture has been re-arranged and the main counter is now facing the door. Tell the staff what you want and they will fetch it from the shelves. Please keep to your side of the counter and don’t lean across it! Keep a respectful distance from other customers too. If the weather is fine, wait outside till it’s your turn. This may all seem a bit over the top to some, but it is best practice. We are all very grateful to the staff for keeping this service going in such difficult circumstances so let’s it make as safe and stress-free for them as possible.
Please can customers, where possible, provide their shopping list in advance and email orders to strathdearnshop@gmail.com. If you are unable to collect your order we will try to arrange delivery. Due to restrictions on staff there will be no phone orders.
The shop will be open from 7.00am to 12.00 noon, Monday to Saturday.
