Important announcement 📣
We are disappointed to announce that, due to a decision by Building Standards, Jack O’ Beers & Deli will temporarily operate as an off-sales shop only, and on-site consumption is suspended until further notice.
We respectfully disagree with this decision and believe it is unreasonable and disproportionate. In our view, it affects not only our small family business but also our customers and the vitality of Milngavie High Street.
We have already begun reviewing the decision and are raising our concerns with the relevant authorities through the appropriate channels.
We believe our premises can operate safely and responsibly, and we have proposed reasonable alternative accessibility measures in accordance with the relevant legislation. We hope these proposals will receive fair consideration.
We also note that many retail premises on the High Street operate under different arrangements, and we hope a consistent and practical approach will be applied to all businesses.
We will update our temporary opening hours shortly.
But this is not the end of Jack O’ Beers.
We have something very exciting coming soon, and we can’t wait to share it with you! Stay tuned.
Your support means everything to us. Please like, comment and repost this message to help spread the word and support an independent local business while we work through this process.
Thank you for standing with us. We are not giving up, and we have many more ideas for Jack O’ Beers and for Milngavie.
