From ferry captain to business owner to retired Granny. Rumour has become Reality. I hadn't really said anything until the papers were signed, last week, but its true and the take over date for the new owners is February 4.
I have enjoyed my stay at the market and am so grateful for all of those who supported and befriended me and accepted me as part of this great community. I am also grateful for all of the fabulous people who I have worked with at the store over the years. Also thank you for treating them with the respect they deserve. They really are the heart of the store and the community and will remain to do so. Enough mushy sobbing
The new owners are, yes, the General store group. The store will be called Union Bay General Store. They have expressed to me their belief that looking after the community is what is important and they have some wonderful plans for the store. Besides the septic and body makeover, they will look to start scoop ice cream YAY!!! They will be adding a Serious Coffee express station, like ours but with Serious Coffee.
Their other plans aren't so firm but include better outside seating. Please keep an open heart and welcome them.
Again my son Dain and I thank you
I will be around. Maybe someone will help carry my groceries
Cheers!!!
Anna
