“The shop has a very loyal base of local customers who have supported us since 2013. Being honest, the pandemic really hit our business hard, and it was tough at times to keep going. All that hard work and the perseverance from everybody in the shop has really paid off today and this win is a nice reward for the winner and the community for all their support for the store throughout the years,” he added.
