Fresh and Fruity Set to Expand at Preston Markets

14 October 2020

Fresh and Fruity are moving to a larger unit in the Market Hall at Preston Markets. Set to open on Tuesday 20 October 2020 in their new unit next door to their current stall, allows them to stock a larger range of fresh, locally sourced produce.

Fresh and Fruity is a family run business which was established 40 years ago and began trading at Preston Markets on the 16 July 2018, stocking fresh fruit and vegetables, sourced locally. They offer seasonal hampers for customers to collect or free delivery to all Preston postcodes.

Councillor Robert Boswell, Cabinet Member for Environment at Preston City Council said:

"Congratulations to Fresh and Fruity on their planned expansion, it is great to see a local business thriving at this uncertain time.

It is more important now than ever for the people of Preston to support their local independent businesses as they are essential for the fabric of our diverse community.

Don't forget while shopping at Preston Markets to stay safe, adhere to the social distancing measures in place and wear a mask for everyone's safety."

Allan and Tracy Taylor owners of Fresh and Fruity said:

"We are delighted to be able to expand our business at Preston Markets. Since we opened in 2018 we have built up a loyal customer base, which has allowed us to expand to a larger unit and increase our produce range further.

We would like to thank all of our customers old and new who have supported us at Preston Markets and especially during the difficult times we have all faced this year.

We can't wait to welcome everyone to our new stall when we open next week, so pop by and say hello."
