  • Community-Shops-News
    Village Shops Newsletter - Spring 2017 News from Local Shops: Appleton Shop Has a Re-vamp. On 29th Feb, Appleton-with- Eaton Village shop held a meeting in the Village Hall for volunteers, local users and potential users of the shop, to come and hear all about the exiting changes happening and to make their comments on the changes. Over 100 people turned up! The new improved shop opened on Saturday 8th April. They now have a new inside coffee area, new product ranges (including more locally produced products), increased chilled and frozen stock and a new ‘Epos System’.The refit is costing around £15k, with a £6k grant from the Post Office really helping out. I bet there is a real buzz in in the village… A New Drinks Cabinet for Hanney Community Shop. Hanneys volunteer shop manager, Hazel Abraham, applied to the Post Office Community Branch Fund for a new drinks cabinet. As you can see it is eye catching. Cold drinks sell well to school children and cyclists. For those shops who have a Post Office in your shop, There is still plenty of money in the Post Office Community Branch Fund which you can apply to in order to develop and improve your Post Office business. Example of improvements people have made include a tea room, improved signage, flooring, shelving lighting. Most applications are below £10,000 and sometimes £2,000 and below for outreach services, however it is possible to apply for more than this. Please see the details on the Post Office website. http://postofficecommunityfund.co.uk If you’re not sure what you could use the Community Branch Fund for, you can give the Network Transformation Helpline a call to discuss some ideas on 0845 266 8790 News from Local Shops Continued..

  • Tesco to Buy Wholesaler Booker in £3.7B Deal
    British supermarket giant Tesco is to buy the country's largest food wholesale operator, Booker Group PLC, in a £3.7 billion (US$4.6 billion) deal set to create "Britain’s leading food business". The acquisition is a marked change of direction for the U.K.’s biggest supermarket group, which has been closing stores around the country in a bid to cut costs. The company's CEO Dave Lewis says the announcement shows Tesco has “made significant progress in turning around our UK retail business." Booker shareholders will end up owning around 16% of the combined group under the terms of the deal. In a statement, the companies said they expected the merger to enhance quality food at attractive prices across retail and eating out locations and better serve the fast growing “out-of-home” food market. In addition, the combined group could present a broader market opportunity for suppliers “with strong growth prospects and a clear opportunity to develop better own brand and fresh ranges; cut food waste and increase efficiency by creating a broader, multi-channel partner who can work with producers across their full agricultural crop.” “Tesco has made significant progress in turning around our UK retail business. This Merger with Booker will further enhance Tesco’s growth prospects by creating the UK’s leading food business with combined expertise in retail, wholesale, supply chain and digital,” CEO Dave Lewis said. “Wherever food is prepared and eaten – ‘in home’ or ‘out of home’ – we will meet this opportunity with the widest choice and best service available.” Booker CEO, Charles Wilson, adds: “Booker is committed to improving choice, prices and FreshFruitPortal.com service for the independent retailers, caterers and small businesses that we are proud to serve.
