Unfortunately, due to family health problems, we are looking to sell our fabulous little ‘Refill’ business.

We have been in Uppingham for the last 7 1/2 years, starting on the market and then moving into our current shop in July 2022.

It is a great, profitable business with plenty of scope for expanding further.

Please pop in to 9 High Street West, Uppingham and speak with Elaine if you’re looking to take on something new and be your own boss.

Many customers were curious when I mentioned that we were having some family time in North Macedonia. Therefore I’ve decided to share a few photos of our first couple of days here. We are staying in a little village next to Lake Ohrid where the water is up to 27 degrees and fed by a pure water spring. We’ve had hikes through the National Forest, walks around the old city of Ohrid and amazing sunsets. Life is very laid back, taxi drivers have to be seen to be believed (but are amazing) and the locals are super friendly. Definitely one to come back to.
