Nettleham updates

Nettleham Food Store and Post Office updates

There was an extensive level of damage to the building and fittings which has meant we have had to undertake recovery work and numerous assessments.

This is complete and now our contractors have started the work needed to get the store and post office open again.

Due to the level of structural work that needs to take place, we estimate we’ll reopen in autumn 2025. We’ll share a confirmed date as we progress.

When we do open our doors, you can expect the same great service from our dedicated colleagues, who are currently working in our other outlets, including our pop up shop, which is in the car park.

We’ll also have all your favourite products and ranges, with some exciting additions including a Tango Ice Blast machine and a range of gifts from our Love Local producers.

Pop-up shop

We’ve set up a temporary pop-up shop in the car park of our Nettleham site to give local people access to everyday essentials.

It is open from 8am until 8pm daily.

The shop sells a small range including milk, bread, eggs, fruit and veg, groceries like pasta, rice and tins, household goods, chilled products such as meat, cheese, butter and spreads, as well as confectionary, newspapers, tobacco and vapes.
