Hundreds of Welsh businesses have been forced to diversify during the pandemic, especially those in the hospitality industry.
For Treorchy s The Lion, what was a temporary move to sell fresh fruit and veg on a stall outside the pub has now turned into the goal of opening a permanent, zero-waste shop on the high street.
Green Valley, which will open at the former location of Cherie & Co salon on Bute Street, will, of course, sell fruit and veg but will also stock plastic-free products in a bid to bring sustainable shopping to the upper Rhondda.
