Opening times and order deadlines for the festive season. If you can, please do pre-order your milk, bread, veg, and any other essentials you’ll need.

And one teeny request: please email orders to coll@collstores.com rather than sending them via Messenger.

It’s always a bit of a crystal-ball job trying to guess how much stock we’ll need, and we really don’t want anyone going without. Also, do keep in mind the possibility of out-of-stocks… and, of course, the weather doing whatever it does!

Order deadlines:

• For delivery on Saturday 20th → order by Tuesday 17th
• For delivery on Tuesday 23rd → order by Thursday 18th
• For delivery on Tuesday 30th → order by Tuesday 23rd

We’ll be open on Christmas Eve and December 31st (10–12 and 2–4), but if you can, please collect on the delivery day after 12 p.m.

Before we wrap up, we want to say a huge thank you for your continued support this year. It genuinely means the world to us, and we appreciate every single one of you!
