Keep the High Street Shops ALIVE… help them THRIVE!
In November 2019, Eco Store, Weigh of the World, in Northwich opened - THIS was a game changer for me! Local, and a brilliant concept! (you can read my blog post here).

Before your supermarket shop, visit your local, small businesses first! Then only go to the supermarket if there is anything which you are unable to obtain! It is more important than ever that we support our local businesses - especially through this time of crisis!

With that in mind, I have collated a list of independent shops in NORTHWICH who are still open and operating, and what shopping options are available.
