Shop Restoration & Background
The reopening of the Gargunnock Community Shop marks the success of a remarkable community effort. Following the closure of the previous store, local residents raised £65,415 through a community share offer, supported by additional grant funding to total over £600,000. The project was led by Gargunnock Community Shop Limited, a local community group of individuals keen to see a pivotal village amenity reinstated.
The Committee can be contacted by email at shopcommittee@gargunnock.org
Ashok Pothugunta, a retailer with over 20 years’ experience and successful stores across Scotland and England, was appointed tenant and has brought the shop back to life—offering quality products and a warm welcome.
