THE owner of a former roadside restaurant which is being transformed into a huge bargain bookshop has apologised to customers after being forced to postpone its opening.

David McPhee had intended to unveil Bookstore at Oakmere on Saturday at the old Little Chef restaurant on the A556, on the edge of Delamere Forest.

Mr McPhee had advertised last Saturday’s grand opening but had to cancel due to “unavoidable circumstances”.

“We will definitely make it by Saturday, August 15,” said Mr McPhee. Ring 01606 883750 for details.
