Guildford says Goodbye
Mr Gumm and Mr Dodsworth
On Saturday 27 January at 5.30 our branch at Guildford closed its doors to the public after nearly ten years of trading in the town. For many customers and staff alike, it was a rather sad occasion. A number of customers had shopped with us ever since we began trading in the town.
A farewell party was held in the Non-Food Warehouse for about 80 Partners.
