aww dont be sad about this shop closing πŸ›οΈπŸ’” it wasnt runnin for much longer tho! 66 yrs is still impressive tho 😊 and kilchoan village will def miss morag & her hubby πŸ‘«πŸ™ their customers & former staff r lucky to hv been part of such a iconic part of the community πŸ’•
 
OMG u guyz 🀯 the closure of The Ferry Stores is just heartbreaking πŸ€• kilchoan village is literally going to lose its community hub 🏠 and it's all cuz supermarkets like morrisons r now prioritizing home delivery over rural shops πŸ˜” i mean dont get me wrong ppl need convenience but not at the expense of local businesses πŸ’ΈπŸ‘Ž my heart goes out to morag & her hubby πŸ‘« they deserve a big round of applause for their dedication & service πŸ™Œ
 
πŸ€• It's so sad when these small shops close down... like The Ferry Stores in Kilchoan. I mean, 66 years is a huge chunk of time! You just can't compete with online shopping and home delivery, right? πŸ›οΈ They should've thought of that before the supermarkets started doing it, lol. But seriously, it's heartbreaking for the community, especially when you have to travel 8 hours round trip just to get some stuff. πŸš—πŸ’¨ It's not fair on the owners who've dedicated their lives to serving those people. I hope they can still enjoy their retirement and know that everyone in Kilchoan will miss them. 😊
 
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s so sad to see Morag & her husband have to close their shop πŸ€• After 66 years they've been the heart of that village, and now it's like a piece of history is being lost forever... Home delivery has definitely changed the game for small businesses πŸ“¦. It's not just The Ferry Stores tho, there are plenty of other rural shops struggling too πŸ˜” I mean, who hasn't had to drive miles for petrol or groceries? It's just crazy that Kilchoan now has to go 29 miles to get some fuel πŸ’¨ Anyway, Morag & her husband deserve a nice retirement πŸŽ‰ And they have so many loyal customers who will miss them, it’s like losing part of the village itself πŸ‘₯
