WORK to improve services in a village store in North Wales has completed in time for Christmas.
The Nisa Local in Ruabon has undergone a 600 sq ft. extension giving shoppers in the village access to a much wider choice on their doorstep.
Geoff and May Pettitt, who have run a store in the village for more than 30 years and are familiar faces in the community, had the opportunity to invest in their store after a neighbouring unit became available.

The shop has now grown by 60 percent expanding from 1,000 sq. ft to 1,600 sq.ft. and the husband and wife team believe they are now offering villagers everything they need 'within walking distance'.
Geoff said: "There are large supermarkets on the outskirts of the village, but the beauty of our shop is that people can walk to us for their groceries as we are very convenient.
"By extending the store we feel we have ensured our customers can get absolutely everything they need without having to get into their cars which is something we believe they really welcome."
