Perrett's Produce family greengrocer in Caerphilly thriving
Perrett's Produce was opened in the centre of Caerphilly on April 29, 2024, by Philip and Joanne Perrett, along with their three children, Cadee, Ieuan and Iestyn.
The greengrocer has been a hit with locals thanks to its wide selection of fruit, vegetables and organic products.

Everyone in the community has had great things to say about our business. We have a lot of people who are regulars and locals are genuinely happy we are here.
'We have hit the ground running, and we have even started to supply local businesses with our products as well. A cocktail bar in the area bought lots of fruit off us as the weather is getting nice and they are going to be making more cocktails.'

She continued: 'It feels great to be a successful business. I was so nervous when we first opened. I feel way better than this time last year.
'People recognise that we are a family business. But my kids have bigger dreams then to work here one day. My 18-year-old daughter is set to go to university.'

Jersey Royal potatoes and raspberries have previously been among the most popular requests from customers, besides Slimming World hampers that can be collected at the shop or delivered.
There are hampers such as a speed fruit box, a speed vegetable box and a speed salad box.
Perrett's Produce announced their one-year anniversary on Facebook with the following post:
'Can't quite believe we have been open one year already and what a year it has been! We have a thank you for all our wonderful customers for continuing to support us.
'It's going to be a beautiful week. We have lots of fresh produce to tantalise your taste buds.'
