A new butcher shop has taken over the former Stan Knowles premises in Coseley.
A new butcher shop has taken over the former Stan Knowles premises on Hurst Hill in Coseley.
The much-loved Hurst Road premises closed in June after serving the community for 45 years.
Dixon's Butchers has now opened in the premises meaning the long-standing butcher's shop will continue to serve the Hurst Hill community, with the addition of a new hot food offering.
The business opened last week and in a social media post said it would be offering ‘all your quality meats, breakfast sandwiches, hot pork and beef sandwiches and lots more.’
The post continued: “Our Bilston shop will still be open as usual.
“If you’re passing by please pop in and say hello.”
The news was met with many messages of support.
One said: “Brilliant news thank you so much for giving us back a butcher. I have purchased from you many times from your Bilston shop and can recommend all your meat.”
Another said: “The best pork sandwich’s.”
A third wrote: “Wishing you all every success as you begin your exciting new business in Hurst Hill; it will be great to see the shop open again with the addition of hot food as well as a great selection of meat.”
The previous business, Stan Knowles, had traded from the site since 1981 before closing its doors, thanking generations of loyal customers for their support.
A notice placed in the window at the time read: “It has been an incredible journey, and we are truly grateful for the support, loyalty and friendship you have shown us.
“Thank you to all of our wonderful customers.”
