My local shop closed for two weeks for refurbishment. It was needed; there had been major issues with the fridges, and a supermarket with as little fridge space as one well-equipped household is not ideal. That wasn’t why it happened though; I suppose the upcoming refurbishment was the reason why any fridge breaking down wasn’t repaired anymore. But either way; given how thoroughly they gutted the building, I was quite impressed that after two weeks, I did indeed reopen. It wasn't entirely finished; some of the shelves were still empty, and there still were workmen doing finishing touches. Also; the front of the building was in scaffolding and the old branding was still up. No Spar signage yet!

They had promised the same products and the same people. I'm not entirely convinced the first thing has happened; I didn't see any local and muddy leeks. But the people are indeed still the same.
I'm glad my local shop is functioning again! Even though it now looks thoroughly 21st century, which is not my thing. I suppose it will soon feel very familiar, though. I'm almost sad I didn't take any pictures of the old shop on the inside!
