Our Aims

Our aims are to:

• Serve the local community

The Bishops Caundle store is owned by the local community. The store provides a convenient local service selling food, refreshments, household, stationery and postal services. It is staffed by employees and volunteers. The shop management committee, elected by the shareholders, oversees the running of the shop.

History

The Bishops Caundle Community Store opened in 2011. The previous shop owners decided to retire and it was agreed that a store, owned by the Community, would replace it.

The store is owned by its shareholders who come from the village and surrounding area. Now well established, the store serves the local community, visitors and passing trade. Future plans for the store include broadening the range of stock available with greater emphasis on locally produced goods.
