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.

A Sindhi by birth, a Indian at heart and a foodie by DNA that’s how Anushka Jaisinghani describes herself. So, it wasn’t surprising,that when she decided to turn into an entrepreneur after a decade-long corporate stint, food was the first segment which she wanted to venture into. “Sindhi cuisine has a lot of snacks which are slightly different from the ordinary. And, most of these snacks have evolved to meet the palate of the modern consumer. We have patti samosa, cheese rolls and aloo tikkis, among others. It was something that I knew would do well in a cosmopolitan market like Bengaluru,” she says.
