OFFERING an entirely different shopping experience to the supermarkets, a whole new generation has been getting to know Flintshire’s markets as lockdown begins to ease. Stallholders in Holywell and Mold have reported a rise in customers as restrictions reduce, particularly among younger people. And with the markets having been a lifeline for many by offering a less busy and more relaxed experience, it is hoped this can continue as the world opens back up and enable traders to flourish.
Ayman Ghosheh runs The Camel’s Hump - a Lebanese street food stall in the Daniel Owen Square, Mold. Having had to close his thriving Liverpool restaurant for more than a year, Ayman Ghosheh says that being part of the market has been vital in the survival of his business.
HOLYWELL’S main shopping street is slowly getting back to normal after months of lockdown. Since the Welsh Government gave the green light for non-essential retailers to welcome back customers almost a month ago, there are more reasons than before to pop along to the high street. We paid a visit to the town centre last Thursday – April 29 – to get a glance at what the ‘new normal’ looked like in Holywell. The town centre is home to a range of varied independent business run by local residents as well as some well-known brands like Peacocks and Iceland. There is also a community museum which opened on the High Street, preserving aspects of local history for all to come and see – when it is safe to do so.
