They are now living in their only 2 miles from the store. Nigel, who enjoys
cooking, missed many British goodies, like bangers and Stilton cheese. He
soon had Lisa enjoying some British delicacies as well. Since these and
other specialty food items were so difficult to find, they decided to open
their own British speciality store.
UK Gourmet opened its doors on August 12, 2003. Since they opened they
have met many members of the surrounding towns who are from
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales or have visited the UK and have
fallen in love with it. The reception has been brilliant, and the future for
Lisa, Nigel and UK Gourmet looks bright! They are enjoying their new store
and are looking forward to meeting more people that miss their home
across the pond.
