📣📣 Important notice
As many people in the village now know, our mum, Sheida, and dad, Akbar (aka Mohammed / Mo / Moham), have decided to retire from the day-to-day management of the shop after many years behind the counter and many more in our previous shop before that.
They’ve made this decision with great sadness, as the shop has been their life for almost 50 years. But now feels like the right time, given where we are as a family.
Mum and Dad arrived in Fauldhouse at a young age, just starting out, and hoping to build a future. They found more than just work here - they found a home.
It was in this village that they got married, surrounded by local people who welcomed them into the community, and where they raised their family. That early kindness and sense of belonging stayed with them, and it’s what kept them going through all the years.
Over the decades, they’ve made countless friends and shared thousands of chats, laughs, and stories with customers. Those everyday moments have meant so much to them and will no doubt be deeply missed.
In order to ensure a smooth handover to the new operators, the shop will be closing at *3pm on Sunday 12th October*.
All going well handover of the shop will then follow in the days afterwards iA. The shop will remain open up to and after their last day in charge. We hope to see all customers in person to say thank you but not goodbye.
