Louise Mortimer, owner, said thanks to the council and Councillor Alison Whelan’s advice, the independent business has been allowed to stay open.
“It came as a really great surprise to us,” said Louise.
She added that the shop has received “great support from all our customers” and that the team will continue with its click and collect system.
It will also still offer free delivery on set days for Ely and surrounding villages during November, as well as the normal postal deliveries up to Christmas.
