A FORMER department store in the heart of Cirencester is set to reopen today, Friday
The Grace Network will be opening its doors in the old House of Fraser building in the Market Place.
A spokesperson for The Long Table, one of the community interest companies that will be located in the building, said on Monday, November 4: “On Friday, you’re invited to have coffee and cake from 9.30am, followed by pay-as-you-can lunch from 12pm to 2.30pm.
“And the team will be doing it all again on Saturday, but with dinner service as well.
“Lunch will be from 12pm to 2.30pm and dinner from 6pm to 8pm, accompanied by live music.
“Just like [The Long Table] in Stroud, there’s no booking required, and every meal is pay-as-you-can.”
Four community interest companies will initially be housed in the building - The Long Table food hub, the Home Remedy furniture outlet, Kids Stuff, which will sell donated children's clothing and toys, and the Bike Drop cycle centre.
The old House of Fraser department store closed in 2019 as the high-street staple shut dozens of stores across the country.
