Business / Mackenzie’s shop to close
THE MACKENZIE’s farm shop in Cunningsburgh is to close next week.
In a post on Facebook the business said it could not sustain its shop while the cafe in the building continues to be closed.
Mackenzie’s said it will close from 8 July, with a sale now taking place. Its website will continue to run.
It added: “We’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to our wonderful loyal customers, our suppliers, our fabulous staff, past and present, our friends and family, and everyone who has supported and helped us at Mackenzies Farmshop and Cafe over the last twelve years, from the first day we started planning our dream, with Grandad John.”
After years of planning the farm shop opened its doors in 2017.
