Since Kwik Save went into administration last week, one fresh produce franchisee has been trading through a fire escape at one of its stores.

Alice’s Fruit Sales in Whittlesey, Cambs has carried on its business as usual with signs directing customers through a fire exit to the shop within the Kiwk Save supermarket.

The greengrocer, Neil Watson, sought legal advice before opening up and has been welcoming customers who queue up to enter. “We can’t believe the support we’ve had,” said Watson. “I’m determined to keep the shop open.” Watson still has another five years to run on his lease at the premises in the Cambridgeshire town.
