Asif told how they have spent the past 18 months working towards the Drumgelloch opening, from the initial planning application right up to serving the first customers, and said: “It’s great to be open, and we’ll be continuing to support charities like St Andrew’s Hospice with collections at this shop as we already do in the others.
