A new convenience shop has opened at Sherford; run by the same resident that is behind the town’s award-winning coffee shop. A welcome addition to the growing town, it provides an essential service for residents, as well those living, working or visiting Sherford.
Sherford Convenience Store is a temporary facility to give the community easy access to day-to-day essentials and fresh produce. Created from a modular unit, it has been fully fitted out with shop facilities, including fridges and a till point. Plans are also in progress for the permanent ‘local centre’ that surrounds it, with plans expected to be submitted in the coming months.
The building has been provided by the Sherford Consortium – a partnership between Taylor Wimpey and Vistry Group, which includes Linden Homes, Bovis Homes* and Countryside Partnerships, responsible for the creation of Sherford. The new shop can be found right at the heart of the community; next door to Sherford Vale school, Sherford Community Hub, and House of Brews.
The shop opened its doors on Monday 28th October, following a short ‘soft launch’ period for local residents. It will open six days a week (excluding Sunday). Its opening hours will be Monday 2pm to 6pm; Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday 8:30am to 11am - 2:30pm to 6pm; Thursday 8:30am to 10am - 3pm to 6pm; and Saturday 9am to 2:30pm.
Sherford Convenience Store will be run by Sherford resident, Joanne Hilton, who also operates the award-winning Sherford coffee shop, House of Brews that opened in 2021. It quickly earned a reputation for quality local produce, use of local suppliers, and outstanding customer service. Having already built a thriving business within the community, and eager to expand the offering, Joanne and her team hope to continue their success with the new shop.
Richard Harrison from Taylor Wimpey, part of the Sherford Consortium said: “A shop has always been one of the most requested amenities at Sherford, and it fantastic to provide a solution ahead of the local centre being developed. We have no doubt that this is a welcome and useful addition to the community. Joanne has already built a successful business at Sherford and we look forward to seeing the same ethos carrying over into the new shop.”
Joanne Hilton, Sherford Convenience Store’s operator, added: “Sherford is our home and we are thrilled to be opening another much-needed business here. Running the coffee shop for the last three years has put in us at the heart of this growing community and we know how keen everyone has been to have a shop. The ability to pop to a local shop and grab essentials is helpful for so many people. Sherford is growing - we now have a convenience store, coffee shop, community centre and school all right next door to one another - and we are glad to be a part of it.”
