New Triangle fruit and veg store Chapys was due to open on Wednesday (Jan 9).
As well as fruit and veg, Michelle intends to offer other goods including herbs and spices,loo and kitchen rolls and crisps. There will also be a selection of organic produce. She also hopes to stock some wholefoods over time.Fruitopia stopped trading in July 2007. It sold fresh fruit and veg, organic produce, wholefoods and flowers. Owner Pete Smith cited a range of reasons, from the closure of the Triangle post office to the opening of Tesco Express and Waitrose.
Some see the provision of fresh fruit and veg at the Triangle as one of the essential ingredients to its success as a trading area.
