Reopening on Tuesday (Oct 1) at the Triangle, after a break for renovations and staff training, Bitterne Park Stores will continue to offer fresh fruit and vegetables, dried goods, cheeses, craft beer from the fridges and apparently the city's largest refillery for washing liquids, soaps and more.

Renovations include a new staircase after "a slight wobble" and rot was discovered, the shop said on its social media. Replacing it has been the recent focus.

There may also be a slight variation to weekend opening hours, we learn, so check in-store for details.
