About Us

Take a nostalgic trip down memory lane with us, as you stroll through our online store and see many of the goodies you thought you had left behind. Whilst we've been open for over 10 years, the UK Grocer developed into a fantastic brand by Lorraine Firth. In October 2019, Paul and Tracey Clark took over the business from Lorraine to carry on delivering an excellent service to the North Shore community and beyond.
