A ZERO-WASTE shop in Kendal was paid a visit by a climate expert and an MP to mark the official opening of its new premises. Another Weigh in Wainwright’s Yard has quadrupled in size following the move from its old Blackhall Yard site. Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron and Mike Berners-Lee, professor and author of ‘There is No Planet B’, browsed inside the shop on Saturday as it enjoyed its formal opening. Mr Farron urged members of the public to drop by the shop and support the enterprise in its efforts to combat climate change. Another Weigh works on the premise that customers bring their own containers and fill them with foodstuffs, toiletries and more, removing the need for packaging.
A COMPANY has revealed plans for a new premises in Kendal. Last week, zero-waste company Another Weigh announced it will be moving from Blackhall Yard to the former Pomegranate and Sage unit on Wainwright’s Yard. The company sells a variety of food items and toiletry products with an emphasis on plastic reduction, encouraging customers to use their own re-usable containers. Its first store was opened in Penrith in 2019 by Zoe Hedges, husband and wife duo Chris and Emma Bray and their daughter Anne-Marie, with a Kendal store opening later that year. “We completed our move into our bigger Penrith shop in December so we were looking to bring a larger shop to our Kendal customers as well,” said Ms Hedges.
