    Costcutter opens pop up shop to serve isolated community

    Costcutter has opened a new pop-up shop in the village of Fangfoss, North Yorkshire, to ensure local residents have easy access to essential items.

    The village residents has been finding essential shopping difficult due to the distance between their homes and the nearest supermarket.

    Costcutter relocated the pop-up shop in the nearby village of Dunnington – opened as the existing store underwent an extensive refurshiment – to the village pub’s carpark in Fangfoss, delivering a convenience provision for the community.

    Mike Hollis, retail director at Costcutter said: “The Fangfoss pop-up will provide a vital shopping service for the local community and our team are working hard to ensure that elderly and vulnerable customers are able to benefit from the store, with home deliveries where possible and allocated timeslots through the week.”
