A gift shop and tea room in Knowle which was facing closure at the end of this month has announced ‘it won’t be closed for long’. Gifts For You on Redcatch Road took to its official Facebook page last week to announce that it would close following a “a change of heart and the way of the world at the moment”, leaving fans and locals saddened.
But in another post just days later, the owner shared the ‘exciting news’ that the closure wouldn’t last long, writing: “The shop will be under new management as of early March so won’t be closed for long. Keep your eyes peeled for updates.”
The shop is known for its delicious home baked treats, and regular parties, events and trips. Taking to the comments section, fans and locals were quick to share their joy at the latest turn of events.
One said: “Great news.” To which a second added: “So pleased for you.”
When asked about what current owner, Sam, would be doing next, she said: “I’m going to put me feet up and enjoy some time to myself.” To which one follower responded: “That’s so lovely for you.
“You’ve worked so hard. Enjoy your family life now.” The store currently has a sale on, marking the now temporary closure, with last day of trading set to come on February 28.
