Our Story
After the original local store closed, a small group of residents met to discuss what could or should be done. Did Crackington need a shop? If so, why, and how could one be created? What, if anything, could be done?
In December 2019, the committee circulated a survey to the village, which got a huge response. Of the 250 that were completed, more than 220 people said yes, they would like and support a shop. The group agreed to work toward opening a not-for-profit community shop to serve St Gennys Parish, providing a community hub and a reliable place to buy groceries.
