Our Story

Styal has had a village store since the 1800s. In 2014, the village store closed down. The villagers were disappointed and wanted to find a way to bring a store back to the village.

A group of villagers came together and formed a community-owned company to run a new store. They raised money through a community share offer and secured a lease on the old store premises.

The new store, café and gallery opened in 2014. It was a success from the start and quickly became a popular destination for villagers and visitors alike.
