Micheldever Village Store

It really is happeninga village store. Many of you will have seen the preparations being made by Rajeev to get the store up and running, as can be seen in the image here. By the time you read this, Rajeev and Sabina will be close to being ready for business. The anticipated first day of trading is likely to be Saturday 3 September.

I am sure that I reflect the predominant hope from the local community for Rajeev and Sabena to successfully develop an enterprising venture which is in the interests of most of us. Much of that success will be dependent on us using the store. Using the store will become increasingly attractive as Rajeev becomes familiar with the requirements of his market–YOU. Those requirements can be more efficiently addressed if they are actually voiced to Rajeev–he wants to know what you want to see in the store. Already the returns from the flyer recently distributed have given him some helpful pointers. The key is to keep him informed - either by speaking to him, dropping a note in the store letterbox or emailing him on rajeev.sai24@gmail.com.

He and Sabena plan to operate the store during September as follows:

Monday to Saturday – 8.30am to 6.30pm

Sunday – 10am to 3.30pm.

The hours will then be extended from October as he gets familiar with his market.

To mark the arrival of this enterprising duo, there will be an official opening of the store on Saturday 10th September at 10am conducted by our City Councillor Patrick Cunningham. Keep an eye out on the village website for confirmation of final details. Rajeev and Sabena very much hope that they will see you then–if not before in store
