OPENING a business as the world stood on the brink of the Coronavirus pandemic must have been extremely bad timing if not catastrophic for many new enterprises. But Food on the Loose - the family-run plastic free shop, which launched in Pokesdown in November 2019 has enjoyed huge success and is now the Bournemouth Echo Trader of the Week. The business, situated on the junction of Christchurch Road and Harewood Avenue, has proven hugely popular whilst also getting residents to think about limiting their environmental impact by changing their shopping and eating habits. Food on the Loose is owned by Jane Simkins who runs it with her two daughters Jennie Simkins and Maxime Noble.
