End of Stokes, but the start of Chris and Dave's fruit and veg shop

What a great town! Dave and Chris and all the gang have been overwhelmed by all the support, sympathy and affection they have had from everyone. You reap what you sow in this life, and they have reaped this return on their great contribution to the town over the years. So Stokes is gone, but Dave and Chris look as if they have been successful in sorting out the lease and necessary backing, with help from the Chamber of Commerce and others of you with specialist knowledge. They hope to re-open next week, perhaps as early as Tuesday. We'll keep you posted, and when they do open make sure you congratulate them, strip the shelves, and remain loyal customers.
