THIS week is Independents’ Week – a whole week dedicated to promoting independent retail businesses across the UK. Last Friday, we launched our latest Best of 2024 search as part of these celebrations and we wanted to find the best independent shop or business in Mid Cheshire. So far in our Best of 2024 competition we’ve given out ten coveted awards.
Next up, we wanted to show small business owners at the heart of our local communities some love and celebrate the best the area has to offer as they juggle increasing overheads, competition from big brand companies and the ever-increasing trend for online shopping. We asked you to make your favourite’s day by nominating them for our Best Independent Shop award and joining the #ukindieday promotional campaign. After reading all of your nominations, we’ve shortlisted the top 12, who will battle it out to be named Mid Cheshire’s Best Independent Shop or Business 2024.
Now we need your help to choose an overall winner from our shortlist. There are three ways to vote: 1. Search for the Best Independent Shop shortlist post on our Northwich and Winsford Guardian or Knutsford Guardian Facebook or X (Twitter) pages and comment under the post with the name of your winner = 1 vote 2.
