Beloved kitchenware store that closed after 42 years to return on the high street
A POPULAR shop in Llandudno is making a big comeback – just months after it shut down. The Kitchen Range, a go-to kitchenware in the seaside town, closed in March after 42 years when owner Robin Whitehead decided to retire. Locals were gutted by the news, calling the closure a 'big loss' to the town. But now it's coming back – with a fresh new look and a new home just down the road. The revived store will open at 105 Mostyn Street – the old Sweet Emporium site – on July 2. It'll be run by Janet Gordon, who managed the original shop for years. She said: 'I cannot put into words how thrilled I am to be given the opportunity to manage the new Kitchen Range. "It was, and still is, a unique cook shop, providing our customers with an informative and friendly shopping experience." The shop was a go-to spot for locals and tourists looking for everything from pots and pans to hard-to-find kitchen gadgets. Janet added: 'Our customer base has always included locals, professionals and tourists, many of whom have shopped with us for many years." 'We're proud to continue those values, and we'll continue to offer a bespoke ordering service for customers seeking the perfect finishing touch or a hard-to-find kitchen item.' The original store closed on March 8, with Robin saying it was time to enjoy retirement after decades in the business. He first opened the shop back in 1983. Why are so many shops going bust? The new version of The Kitchen Range will keep its personal touch – but with some modern updates. It now has a website, social media accounts and email contact to help shoppers stay in the loop. Janet said: 'We're thrilled to be returning to Llandudno's central high street, surrounded by a vibrant mix of fantastic businesses of all kinds, many of whom we've proudly stood alongside for decades.' Suppliers are backing the relaunch – and say it's great news for the town. Michelle Colins, from national supplier Lifetime Brands, said: 'This beloved local business is set to once again become a hub for culinary enthusiasts and a vital part of the community.' 'As the only dedicated kitchenware shop in the area, its return is a fantastic boost for Llandudno, bringing back a space for quality products and trusted advice.' Locals won't have long to wait – the doors swing open on Tuesday, July 2. While The Kitchen Range is making a comeback, many other shops across the UK are being forced to call it a day. Retailers have been hammered by high costs, falling footfall and changing shopping habits. In Wales, Nibletts Mica in Builth Wells announced it will shut down once current stock runs out. The owners blamed "falling sales and greatly increased costs" driven by soaring rates and national insurance changes. Over in Yorkshire, All Types Electrical in Rotherham switched off the lights for the final time on Christmas Eve after more than 50 years in business. The Closet, a second-hand clothing store in Harker, also shut at the end of last year. Even bigger names aren't safe. Shoe Zone has closed more than 20 branches since last May, dropping from 320 shops to just 297. More closures are expected, with the boss blaming poor consumer confidence and unseasonal weather. Homebase is also shutting sites, launching closing-down sales at several locations across the UK. The Centre for Retail Research revealed that 13,479 shops shut down in 2024 alone – a staggering average of 37 closures a day. Over 11,000 of these were independent stores. With the cost of living still squeezing shoppers and business bills piling up, many high street traders say they're barely hanging on. RETAIL PAIN IN 2025 The British Retail Consortium predicted that the Treasury's hike to employer NICs will cost the retail sector £2.3billion. Research by the British Chambers of Commerce showed that more than half of companies planned to raise prices by early April. A survey of more than 4,800 firms also found that 55% expect prices to increase in the next three months, up from 39% in a similar poll conducted in the latter half of 2024. Three-quarters of companies cited the cost of employing people as their primary financial pressure. The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has also warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year. It comes on the back of a tough 2024 when 13,000 shops closed their doors for good, already a 28% increase on the previous year. Professor Joshua Bamfield, director of the CRR said: "The results for 2024 show that although the outcomes for store closures overall were not as poor as in either 2020 or 2022, they are still disconcerting, with worse set to come in 2025." Professor Bamfield has also warned of a bleak outlook for 2025, predicting that as many as 202,000 jobs could be lost in the sector. "By increasing both the costs of running stores and the costs on each consumer's household it is highly likely that we will see retail job losses eclipse the height of the pandemic in 2020. 2

Key Home Goods Unveils Limited Edition Cutting Board Collection: Where Functional Art Meets Heritage Craftsmanship
DALLAS, June 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Key Home Goods, a design-forward brand rooted in old-world craftsmanship and modern heritage, proudly announces the release of its Signature Collection, a limited-edition series of artisan-crafted end-grain cutting boards and designer charcuterie boards that merge timeless form with everyday Home Goods Signature Collection houndstooth cutting board. Each piece in the collection is meticulously handcrafted from American hardwoods, finished with a blend of food-safe oils and waxes, and showcases the brand's distinctive proprietary houndstooth patterns, a visual hallmark that has become synonymous with Key Home Goods. With production strictly limited, every board is reserved for those who seek beauty, exclusivity, and purpose in all that they do. At the heart of this launch is Andrew Key, a seventh-generation Texan, fine woodworker, and the founder of Key Home Goods. What began in 2019 as a pair of custom end-grain cutting boards made as wedding gifts for lifelong friends has grown into a full-fledged pursuit of heirloom craftsmanship. 'I never set out to start just another cutting board company,' says Andrew. 'I wanted to create something truly extraordinary, pieces to be cherished, passed down, and appreciated for both their function and elegance.' The Signature Collection represents more than kitchen tools; it's functional art, thoughtfully designed to elevate the rituals of cooking and gathering. Each board is book-matched for visual harmony, then assembled into a composition that's as structurally resilient as it is visually stunning, honoring the heritage of end-grain cutting boards while pioneering new ground in their design. 'Every board is made slowly, with intention,' Andrew explains. 'Owning a Key Home Goods board is an invitation to savor life's richest moments. A centerpiece for gatherings and a canvas for creating memories with those you love. No two are alike, but every one is designed to be the best board you'll ever own, and the last one you'll ever need.' The Signature Collection is available exclusively at with early access to new releases offered to registered collectors. Each board ships in custom packaging and includes access to the brand's white-glove support and timeless warranty, known as the Timeless Guarantee.

Morrisons warning for thousands to visit shops before Sunday – or lose out on chance to claim £30 worth of free products
MORRISONS shoppers have just days left to cash in on a popular loyalty scheme – or risk losing out on premium kitchen gear worth up to £30. The supermarket has warned customers that they must redeem their More Card Stamps in-store by Sunday, June 22, or their stamps will go to waste. 2 The offer, available across Morrisons supermarkets in the UK, excludes online orders, Click & Collect, Morrisons Daily convenience stores, Amazon, petrol stations and Gibraltar branches. It's all part of a recent More Card promotion, launched earlier this year, which has seen customers bag free Pyrex products by collecting digital stamps with their weekly shop. The deal, which has proved hugely popular with loyal Morrisons shoppers, allowed customers to collect one stamp for every spend over £10. With enough stamps, customers could walk away with premium Pyrex items – including dishes, containers and a hand pump – completely free. Lilly Chattoe, Senior Loyalty Marketing Manager at Morrisons, said: 'Our More Card Stamps loyalty program has been incredibly popular, with fans of the Pyrex range being quick to collect their stamps in exchange for a product or two, or more. 'As we reach the final week of the offer, we're reminding customers that haven't yet redeemed their stamps to do so quickly before it runs out.' Items up for grabs include a 600ML round dish, 800ML rectangular dish, 1100ML round, 1500ML rectangular, 1600ML round and a huge 2600ML rectangular Pyrex dish. A branded hand pump is also part of the range. But anyone who hasn't used their stamps by the Sunday deadline will lose them for good – even if they've already done the shopping to earn them. This isn't the first time supermarket shoppers have been caught out by loyalty scheme cut-offs. Earlier this year, Tesco scrapped its popular Clubcard app, forcing millions to switch over to the new Tesco Grocery & Clubcard app by a set deadline. Many shoppers who didn't update in time lost access to their points and vouchers. Meanwhile, Sainsbury's replaced its well-known Nectar Double Up event – where customers could double the value of their points on selected products – with a range of smaller, more targeted offers, leaving regulars disappointed. And Boots customers were left fuming last summer when the high street chain cut its Advantage Card rewards rate from 4p to 3p per £1 spent – giving shoppers less bang for their buck. Now Morrisons fans are being urged not to make the same mistake. To take part in the promotion, customers must be a More Card member, either through the app or with a physical card. Stamps can be tracked through the app or printed on the bottom of receipts. 2

The best cutting boards according to a knife expert
Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. Article content Any way you slice it, cutting boards are a must-have for serious culinary creations. But are all cutting boards created the same? The answer, according to Kasumi Perron, manager of Knifewears' flagship store in Calgary, says they are not. Article content Article content Article content Perron suggests people in the market for a cutting board opt for end grain boards, butcher-block styles assembled with all the wood grains facing upwards. Article content Knifewear, which also has locations in Vancouver, Edmonton and Ottawa, sells its wares online. And its larch wood cutting boards are a customer favourite, earning a 4.9-star rating among buyers. They are hand-made in Cape Breton, N.S. from sustainable wood and treated prior to assembly which, Perron says, makes them more durable. Article content Article content Perron says investing in a quality board is worth it. 'You get what you pay for. It will last you a lifetime if you take really good care of it,' she says. Article content Article content Is it a cutting board or a serving tray? That depends on what you want it to be. With its trench-like edge created to catch the juicy bits and make for less mess, this cutting board has a lot to offer. It's made from American black walnut wood and designed to flip over and go from a cutting board to a serving platter. We also like its sleek look and the fact that this space-saving kitchen essential is designed so it stands to dry and/or store easily on the counter or in a cupboard.
