A much-loved greengrocers that has been at the heart of Wirral for more than 50 years is being forced to close one of its stores as energy prices rise “through the roof”.
Colin Lunt first opened its doors on Banks Road, in West Kirby, over five decades ago and has since become renowned for its high-quality produce and reputation as a pillar of the local community. After the shop’s founder and namesake passed away in 2019, the business was taken over by Colin’s close friend and fellow West Kirby native, Matty Peers.
With business booming, Matty decided to open a second branch in Hoylake in August 2020. However, just two years later, the spiralling cost-of-living crisis has forced the 47-year-old to make the difficult decision to close the Market Street shop.
