The One Stop store on the High Street will re-open on Thursday, July 21 after a thorough refurbishment and change in ownership.

The shop, which was previously run by Mills Group, will be open from 6am until 11pm, seven days a week.

It will sell a range of products from groceries and chilled foods as well as household goods and baby products.

The store will also provide National Lottery, PayPoint, E top-up facilities and a free-to-use cash machine.

Tony Reed, CEO of One Stop said it is “exciting news” that they have acquired the shop.

Reed added: “We can introduce One Stop’s quality, range and value to the local community.

“We’ve made a significant investment in refurbishing the store, creating a better shopping experience. I’m also happy to confirm that we have been able to bring down prices and delighted to be able to welcome our customers to come in and look around.”

Reed also reassured that despite the change in ownership, the original staff will be keeping their jobs.

Four members of Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue are to undertake the “Race the Sun” challenge in September.

The team members include the Chief Fire Officer, Dave Ramscar, and Assistant Chief Fire Officer Mick Green as well as Temporary Crew Manager Gary Waite and Youth Engagement Officer Andy Payne.

The challenge will include cycling 50 miles, canoe down Lake Thirlmere and then finally climb Mount Hellvelyn all before the sun sets.

The team is aiming to raise £2000 for Action Medical Research which works to stop the suffering of babies and children caused by diseases and disabilities.

On July 31 the team will be turbo-cycling at Sainsbury’s on Tritton Road in preparation for their main challenge and to raise sponsorship money.

Donating at this event enters people into a draw to win a chance to visit Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue’s urban search and rescue training facility in Waddington.

To donate you can visit the fundraising event or online.
