Store to shut over contract
An Oswestry meat shop is to close its doors next month after it netted a multi-million contract to supply independent supermarkets across the country.
The Oswestry business, iwantmeat.com, formerly known as Wholesale Meat Sale, will close on July 7 as the company concentrates on its massive diversification into the wholesaling sector.
Founders and directors Phil Brown and Alan Davies said since the business was first formed six years ago they had always strived to serve the people of Oswestry with a quality product at an exceptional price and have enjoyed every minute of it.
Mr Brown said today it would be sad to see the Oswestry shop close, but the company is going from strength to strength and customers would still be able to buy produce in the town.
Mr Brown said his priority was to make sure the area was unaffected, with Stans Superstore and further afield Harry Tuffins stocking the full range.
