ABBOTTS Ann Village shop celebrated its first year of trading with a party to thank volunteers and members of the community for their support.
Since the community shop was opened, at last year's village fete, it has exceeded all expectations with turnover more than trebling.
Increasing sales have seen the shop take on three new staff including Geraldine Heather as shop manager.
It is hoped that any future profits from the sale of fresh local produce will be ploughed back into community projects.
