Local wholefoods store Beanies launched their new shop and café this Saturday with a grand opening.

After 33 years of business at their previous store, they have now moved into a new bigger premises at One Barber Road.

Chris Baldwin, a co-op member at Beanies said: “The community is so positive, a lot of them have invested in the move as well.

“We couldn’t have done it without them.”

Beanies began in 1986 under the name ‘Bean Beanies’ and specialises in fresh fruit and vegetables and other vegetarian and vegan products.

The grand opening had plenty of entertainment, free food and support from the local community.

We visited the store to get amongst the celebrations.
