Staff behind the counter of the Maypole Grocery store in Warwick
Staff behind the counter of the Maypole Grocery store in Warwick, which is to close down at the end of the week after more than 50 years trading in the town. Allied Suppliers Ltd. the group owning the store, have decided to cease operations in the Elizabethan buildings at 25, Market Place, because it is no longer a viable financial proposition. The staff employed at the shop will be offered other jobs in the area. A spokesman for Allied Suppliers in London said: " The premises are not big enough for the trade we do today. The rates and costs of the building do not justify it. Its an attractive building but its just not practicable." He said the group would be on the look-out for more suitable premises in the town.

End of an Era - Maypole Grocery Store in Warwick Closes its Doors after 50 Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the bustling interior of the Maypole Grocery store in Warwick during the 1970s. Behind the counter, a dedicated team of young men and women can be seen diligently serving customers with smiles on their faces. The shelves are stocked with an array of products including tinned food, Primula cheese, and other household essentials. However, this poignant image captures more than just a snapshot in time; it marks the end of an era for this beloved local establishment. After over half a century trading in the heart of town, Allied Suppliers Ltd. , who own the store, have made the difficult decision to close its doors permanently at the end of this week. The closure comes as no surprise to many locals who have witnessed changes in shopping habits and increased competition from larger supermarkets. A spokesperson for Allied Suppliers explained that while Market Place's Elizabethan buildings hold historical charm, they no longer meet modern trade demands or justify rising costs. Despite this sad news, there is a glimmer of hope for those employed at Maypole Grocery store. The staff will be offered alternative job opportunities within the area as Allied Suppliers seeks more suitable premises elsewhere in town. As we bid farewell to this iconic grocery store that has been woven into Warwick's fabric for generations, let us remember not only its charming facade but also its dedicated staff who served our community with pride and professionalism throughout these past five decades.
