It’s a busy afternoon on Grange Road in Birkenhead.
The sun beats down on the hordes of shoppers as they mill through the town’s main shopping district. Sandwiched among some of the high-street’s big hitters is KRL General Store & Cafe, distinguishable by a temporary yellow sign tethered to the building’s facade.
Inside, though there are some empty shelves, this is a place bursting at the seams with ideas, hope and possibility. The shop only opened its doors in July, but KRL has been more than a year in the making.
