Stanleys

The caretaker in my primary school was called Stan (Mr. Pappini, I salute you), so consequently whenever I see the name ‘Stan’ or ‘Stanley’, I always think of a school caretaker. Stanley doesn’t really sound like a newsagent’s name but then again, I don’t really know what does. Maybe something like ‘Brian’s Newsagent’.
From the outside, Stanley’s resembles the front of a woman’s glossy magazine as the shop window is covered in various large signs and classifieds. However, upon entering Stanley’s, you are greeted by staff that are friendly, chatty and helpful.
Stanley’s has a great range of products available for its customers, offering the usual newspapers and magazines as well as essential bits and bobs at reasonable prices. Helpfully, you can also pay for your various bills here, in fact there’s of surprising number of things you can actually pay for (including bus tickets?)
As a newsagent, Stanley’s offers you everything you could want from and then some.

Well Stanley… what can I say? Your newsagents is extraordinary! Talk about bringing a traditional store into the 21^st century. Stan’s bright red modern and contemporary sign stands out like a beacon of light to Lydiate locals who need to top-​up their telephones or pay bills, as well as grab a packet of Walkers and a chilled Pepsi.
Not only can you pick up groceries, confectionary, beverages, magazines, newspapers and much more here, you can also pay pay those pesky household charges, sort your TV license… oh the possibilities are endless.
This is exactly the sort of store you need to have on your doorstep. The staff are always lovely to chat too as well.
I think I’m a fan.
