The Quay Shop on Tresco will not open again this season.
Alan Knight revealed to Scilly News on Tuesday “ I can confirm that the Quay Shop will not be reopening for business this season, when Tresco Stores ceases its temporary occupation to take up its brand new premises adjacent to the Estate Office. “
The Quay Shop has been a centre point for boatmen and visitors to Tresco. Last year it was made into a temporary Tresco Stores when the island’s shop had a small fire. A new shop is being built on a different location.
Mr Knight also said “We would like to thank Rose Locke and Gloria Lawry, who have provided us all with such a sterling service at the Quay Shop for many years.”
There are no firm plans as of yet what will happen to the shop but one possibility is a waiting room for visitors.
