No resting on our laurel's here! Joe was busy packaging Etsy orders for The Happy Place Gift Shop and Ol's and Kaiden have been helping to hang some beautiful artwork in the new building. A great job well done as always 👏

Fantastic 1st day at The Happy Snacker! Thanks so much to everyone that popped in to grab a few bits and to those who just came to have a look around and say hello! The guys loved meeting you all and are already getting the hang of the till, stock taking and all the other jobs that running a small convenience store requires!

Today is the day! The Happy Snacker will open its doors to the public at 9.30am! Looking forward to seeing those that can make it 😀

Great to welcome everyoneback this week, with the added bonus of some additional new clan members. We are all ready for another fun filled year, with lots of exciting developments. The Happy Snacker will be opening on Monday morning at 9.30am, giving our young people another meaningful work experience opportunity. Alfie was getting his cash register practice in and made the shops very first sale this morning, he was incredibly proud of himself (as he should be) and has promised that the post payment handshake will become his signature move 😉
