A seaside village butcher’s shop with more than 100 years of history is set to begin a new chapter after Veyseys Butchers announced plans to open a second store.
The Cullompton-based business revealed it had taken over premises in Shaldon and said work is now underway before the new shop officially opens.
Owners Phil and Ria said they were “incredibly proud” to become part of the village’s long-standing butcher’s trade and confirmed they would continue offering the same service at their existing Cullompton branch.
In a statement shared online, the pair said: “There has been a butcher’s shop in this seaside village for over a century and we’re incredibly proud that Veyseys Butchers will now be part of its story.
“We look forward to bringing quality meat and a friendly service to the Shaldon community.”
They added that there was still “plenty of work to do” before opening the doors to customers.
The business said it would share behind-the-scenes updates and opening details over the coming weeks through its social media pages.
Phil and Ria also reassured existing customers that the Cullompton shop would continue operating as normal.
They said: “To our loyal Cullompton customers, do not worry. It is business as usual.
“Our Cullompton shop will continue operating exactly as normal, with the same team and service you know and love.”
Veyseys Butchers confirmed customers in Shaldon can already place orders for home delivery every Wednesday or arrange collection from the new shop between Wednesdays and Saturdays.
