A Radlett greengrocers has said the decision to close is “heartbreaking” as they thanked their customers and the community for years of support.
Radlett Fruiterers in Watling Street closed in July with rising costs and falling customer footfall cited as the reason.
The family business has been run by Dean Evans for six years and before that he worked for his dad who previously owned the shop.
The high quality greengrocers hope to soon offer deliveries and continue to sell their produce at local markets.
Dean told Radlett News: “Due to rising costs in business rates and utility bills etcetera and also the drop in customer footfall we simply couldn’t keep the business going, which was heartbreaking.
“We love the area and the people of Radlett so our decision to close was not taken lightly.
“During covid we started our delivery service to vulnerable customers to give as much support to our local community.
“The daily conversations and laughs with customers will be missed and we will also miss their four legged friends who would come in for their treats daily.
“We thank our staff for all of the hard work they have put in over the years and our loyal customers. We wish them the very best.”
Radlett Fruiterers will still be at their Oxhey Village stall on Saturdays at Lovedays Bakery and in Watford Tuesdays to Saturdays.
