Abode Above

Time for an Abode Above announcement

We shall be opening this Saturday between 10am and 3pm where we will attempt to continue Daphne's legacy of Abode Above

The Mega Clearance Sale that she started will continue as before, we will try to clear some space to start bringing in some of the other stock that is sat in the wings / container.

We can never replace Daphne in her chattiness or her immense knowledge of Frenchic (that's going to take a while to get to even a fraction of her knowledge) - but we shall try.

Then there's the till and payments - wowsers.

So please bear with us while we enter a whole new world.

Thanks once again for you words of condolences, patience and thoughts during these sad times.

Due to work commitments, for the coming weeks it will be just Saturday opening for now.

Come down and say hello :)

Last Monday (20th April), Daphne was her usual vibrant self - full of life, chatting with customers, and looking forward to new opportunities.

However, that same evening she suffered a devastating medical event that changed her family’s lives forever.

True to her character, she fought against impossible odds, right up until the very end. Sadly, Daphne passed away on Sunday afternoon (26th April).

We would like to thank every person who has supported Abode Above since 2017 - customers, fellow shopkeepers, and everyone in between.

Her battle with cancer in 2016 pushed her to pursue her long-held dream: moving from market trading to owning her own shop and working for herself. She poured 100% of herself into it, overcoming challenges outside her control along the way and in the meanttime proudly building the Frenchic brand in the Wrexham area with her knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm.

Understandably, Abode Above will be closed for the foreseeable future while her family decides on the next steps regarding the business.

We will update you in due course, but for now, thank you - each and every one of you - for helping her fulfil her dream.

We will all love and miss her forever and one thing is for certain; she will never be forgotten.

Christian, Tomos, Harri & family
