A greengrocers, which has been in Nailsea for more than 30 years, plans to relocate to Bristol. S&R Burchills has announced it is to shut up its shop at Colliers Walk on July 23 and move operations to its warehouse base at Bristol Fruit Market.
Bosses of the greengrocer say the change in peoples’ shopping habits - exacerbated by the pandemic - has made it no longer financially viable to operate a business premises in the town. The store will continue to serve the Nailsea area through an online shop and via telephone orders, reports Somerset Live.
A spokesman for S&R Burchills said: “After 30 plus years of being part of Nailsea town centre, we have made the very hard decision to relocate our business outside of the town. This has been an emotional decision based on many factors, the biggest of which has been the change in shopping trends over the past few years.
