GAZETTE & HERALD: Popular sandwich and salad bar Salad Select is reborn today, more than a year after it was pushed out of the Emery Gate shopping centre.
Victor and Margery Mandryko will reopen the Chippenham salad bar in new premises in Market Place because customers kept asking them when Salad Select would come back.
Former employees are chomping at the bit to take up their jobs again Mr Mandryko said all five staff were at one time employed at Salad Select before it closed on January 10 2004.
"They're all coming back," said Mr Mandryko."We've been a long time without Salad Select and we've had lots of requests by our old customers.
"We had a difficult decision to make, whether we should reopen, and now we're hoping all our former customers will come back to us."
Management at Emery Gate refused to renew the lease for the salad bar and adjoining flower shop because they wanted to reorganise the shopping centre, and despite a petition from customers, the salad bar was forced to close.
