New One Stop store opens in latest change at Harton Village in South Shields

A new One Stop store opened on Friday, March 26, in the former Harton Convenience Store at 173 Sunderland Road in Harton Village, following an extension and revamp.

It is the latest new business to join the bustling shopping area, and comes after the news plastic-free grocery store Zilch Weigh House will open in the former The Cake Place unit.

Recent months have seen the closure of the Cafe at the Corner in the village, however, with owners citing the impact of the pandemic and the expiration of their lease.

One Stop said the new convenience store will provide the area with “quality products and great deals on items people need every day”.

Customers can play the National Lottery and Health Lottery, use Paypoint and pick up Tchibo coffee in store.

The store will also offer £3 lunchtime meal deals of fresh sandwiches, snacks and soft drinks.

Its opening hours will be Monday to Sunday, 6am until 10pm

Franchisee Dhaval Kuhadiya said: “We are extremely happy with the transformation of our new store and have received such a warm welcome – we would like to thank the Harton Village community for this.”

“The new convenience store will provide the community with quality products and great deals on items people need every day, alongside treats for the whole family.

"One Stop have built their reputation on integrating stores within local communities and providing shoppers with a wide range of products on their doorstep.”
