Gutted for the @levymarket guys, sadly it's happening more & more where larger 'artisan market' companies are pitching to take over the community based established markets that bring value to the local economy/well being of the local community😞
#shoplocal #communitymatters
So here we are, the end of our journey.
As lots of you will be aware a new market has been appointed by @ManCityCouncil to take up our old stomping ground and start trading later this week in Levy Train Station Carpark...
Ace to see ‘our kitchen’ on #ourwelshchapeldream 🫶 To be honest it was what made us fall in love with our home when we first viewed it 🙌
#EnglishRoseKitchen
Cracking start to the week meeting @takaraalf & the brilliant team at @ymcans 👌
We chatted all things community & support plus a tour of their fantastic facilities 🙌
🤞we will be working on some exciting plans
Note to self: take sunglasses next time we have a pic taken 😆
How lucky are we to have this on our doorstep (well 1.1 miles from our doorstep) 🤩

Andy and Laura Nixon took on one of Stoke-on-Trent’s largest empty retail units and turned it into a pop-up creative department store. Keep It Local is the first High Street Impact contender in @UniofStaffs Business Awards 2025 (sponsored @StokeontrentBID) staffsbizawards.co.uk/high-s…

If you are lucky enough to secure your spot on this lovely #Walkingtour by @Middleport_Pot you will also wander (we think!) by Castle Artisan HQ at Church View Villas 😀
