Staff at a popular Hitchin store were “delighted” with its reopening yesterday after a month-long closure for refurbishment.

Vinegar Hill, on Bancroft reopened at 9am yesterday, Wednesday September 12, to “positive” feedback from its customers.

As part of the renovation, the interior has been stripped out, refitted and newly decorated. The reopening coincided with the launch of its new season ranges and the shop rewarded the first 20 customers with a free £10 gift voucher as they came through the door.
