Freehold Purchased

In a significant milestone for the business, the Arnold family purchased the freehold in Olive Street for 2367 pounds. This acquisition provided a permanent and stable base for their operations, allowing them to further expand and secure their presence in the community.

Additionally, Arnold’s expanded their infrastructure with a two-storey warehouse, aptly named Arnold’s Produce Store, located near the Terminus Hotel in what would later be known as C.O.D Lane. This warehouse played a crucial role in managing their growing inventory and ensuring efficient distribution to their customers.

The purchase of the Olive Street freehold and the establishment of the warehouse underscored the Arnold family's commitment to growth and their forward-thinking approach to business.
