One of several convenience/off license stores on a small stretch of Raddlebarn Road. I think there are at least 6 shops all doing a similar trade, and all of them seem to survive. This was a mystery to me when we first moved to the area, but I’m slowly cottoning on that these places survive due to students. A) There are loads of students in the area and they all walk to the nearest one B) There are loads of students in the area who visit the shops in groups and, after having a lengthy discussion at the counter about who is paying for what, they all want to pay separately with a debit card. When this happens it’s very quick and easy to simply move along to the next shop, rather than wait 15 minutes for the whole shenanigan to play out. Sakib is one such store. Local, friendly, convenient.

Locally known as Sakib’s this modest corner shop has a remarkable range of products on offer to the general public. From tennis balls to food stuffs to alcohol they have the lot here and this place most definitely targets convenience. The owner is a friendly gentleman who welcomes each customer with a smile and never fails to act in a polite and professional manner. This place like many businesses on Raddlebarn road appears to have been around for years, so there is a real sense of local community in terms of the way it is run. Sakib’s is another store which continues to prosper in the face of massive Supermarket chains and long may that continue.
