Store Renovations Chapter 2
Tomorrow is our last day operating out of the current Crane Brothers set up.
At 6.00 there will be a very large team of tradesmen anxious to get their hands on joinery, plumbing and electrical cable in a bid to completely gut and refit the store in a little over 6 days.
Much of the store will remain as it is but there will also be some big changes.
We re open 3rd April Wednesday next week.
