Welcome News fare
Out with 7-Eleven, here's 'NEWSFARE'. R S McColl and 7-Eleven never got on with the
residents of Toothill, so there is no loss in seeing them go. Lets hope their successors
can improve the local shopping service to the village.

Newsfare is operated by Missellbrook and Weston Ltd who have been in the shopkeeping
business since 1848. They are based in Southampton and run eleven 'Newsfare' shops in
Southern England.
Mr Weston, Managing Director of Newsfare, told The Link that his company will be trying to
operate the 1980's version of the old style village shop. They are not competing with the
Carrefours of this world, they are a shop offering the convenience of being on the
customer's doorstep. He also said they will be trying to make the Toothill village shop
more attractive in appearance with a better product range.
Mr Weston appealed to the customers to give 'Newsfare' a little time to settle down, they
will be trying to do their best because after all "We are in the people pleasing business"
