Corner shop that buys food for its customers

A man who owns a corner shop said his customers come to his store "with hope" and helps by providing credit to people to help them spread the cost of food.

Divyesh Patel has served the community of New Brighton and the rest of Wirral since 2007, as owner of Tower Stores. Divyesh said he opened his shop on Seabank Road as he was looking for "something challenging and a new opportunity" which would work round raising his two small children at the time.

As part of our new series on corner shops and convienice stores that form important parts of our community, we spoke to Divyesh. If you want us to feature a shop in future stories, email [email protected].
