We want to shout out Lorna and the team at the Water Tank café in the Oxfam superstore! They provide delicious coffee and food to the people of Oxford and will soon be opening a new branch in Oxfam’s Manchester superstore (opening 19th July 2024!). “The Water Tank café first opened on the same day as the superstore. However, during the Covid lockdown, the caterers contracted to the café made redundancies, which included myself. I was then contacted by Oxfam about reopening the café as my own business. We reopened in May 2021 and we’ve never looked back! “There are so many great sustainable and ethical food and drinks companies out there with amazing stories behind them. It's great to be an independent business that can do their part in supporting some of those wonderful products. I love to work with the wonderful local suppliers especially those that are social enterprises. “Although it’s incredibly hard work to run a small business, I love the freedom. We are not restricted in terms of what suppliers we use or products we sell and the team get to be involved in coming up with new ideas. “I’m so excited to bring the Water Tank to our new Manchester superstore in July, I think we’ll bring some unique to the Manchester Fort shopping park!” - Lorna, Water Tank café owner 🍰
So excited to see what the next year brings and get a coffee with you 😉 You’re going to smash it Lorna 🙌
Miss the superstore. Would visit at least once a week when working in the office. Visit it's great.
Big shout out to Lorna from the Nielsen and Oxfam office days. Great news!
Amazing strides
