THURLSTONE The business also conducts its operations from its equally well fitted sister long-leasehold, stone built corner-sited premises situated in the nearby village of Thurlstone. The premises provide extremely well fitted internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises 2 inviting and part-glazed public entrances into the main, bright and welcoming retail sales and customer service area. The main public area houses a full range of high quality, purpose-built ambient bakery displays and a prominent and fully fitted, glass-fronted and refrigerated food display and serve-over counter with electronic till/food ordering point and small open preparation and cutting area.

Externally: To the exterior the premises are well signed and attractively presented and afford ample and inviting display window space onto a high footfall village thoroughfare, with extensive unrestricted customer parking available locally.

The business currently operates from two separate outlets, both of which occupy prominent corner trading positions with little in the way of direct local competition in the neighbouring villages of Silkstone Common and Thurlstone, which lie with excellent access to major road and motorway links (A628, A629 and M1 junction 37 etc.) on the semi-rural outskirts of the nearby town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire.
