    Reading grocery store goes up market

    Amir Convenience Store

    A convenience store in Caversham, Reading will be transformed into a cafe selling hot food, coffee, groceries and gifts that are locally or British-sourced and ‘ethical’.

    Amir Convenience Store, on 25 Church Road, in Caversham, has changed hands to new owners, who will implement the changes.

    Currently a grocers, off license, newsagent and tobacconist, the new plan will keep some of the same type of products but they will be sourced differently.

    Reading Borough Council approved the application this week, as it met the prior approval legislation.

    Another convenience store is also being transformed, this time becoming accommodation.

    Everyday Value, on Prince of Wales Avenue, by Reading West Station, will become a one-bedroom flat after meeting the prior approval planning legislation criteria set nationally.
