Thank you everyone for your comments to this post. We appreciate all you have said. I think the point of this post is that after our last big ‘SOS’ post (April 2023😳) we had a huge amount of customers flooding back in vowing to help and support the shop. Every winter is getting tougher now and we still need everyone to rally all year round if we all still want a shop. We open our doors 362 days a year and our opening hours are well documented, even when they change on bank holidays. We respect we cannot help everyone all of the time but do our best. We have never in 8 years shut our doors early even when no one is around. We’re not looking for a medal, we are just politely sending a reminder out, as we’ve been asked to do throughout this past year to all those who can add a bit of help.
In terms of moving forward we will go back to opening at 7am until 6pm from April 2nd to help those who work during the week and see how it goes in terms of turnover versus costs however we are open on weekends where Saturday mornings were always the best days but have sadly declined so much in recent times. We understand times have changed and things are tough for people out there but it really is a choice of use it or lose it. In terms of staff members not smiling it can be quite demoralising when the shop is so quiet and post office customers use free services without supporting the store. No excuse and we will remind everyone (including ourselves) to make sure we’re all happy to greet you with a warm welcome.
Thanks again everyone.

Imagine this wonderful, unique village of Mark without a village store.

No last minute cash withdrawals on a Saturday morning.
Free Amazon returns to be taken to Burnham or Wedmore.
Having to travel at least 4 miles to buy a newspaper or a stamp.
Picking up Ham or Salt Beef from a nearby Butchers?
No more dashing down for some emergency milk supplies.
Telling the children there’s no more popping in for goodies before or after school.
All Bills and banking to be done at the nearest bank?
Jobs are lost.
Property values get reduced.
The heart of the community gets ripped out.

We completely understand that Mark Village Store is for convenience but to keep it going it must be supported on a regular basis.
Thank you so much to all those who do.

This will be our last post ever on this issue.

Thanks for reading this post.
