Holland's of Milford now has an excited new owner. This popular village centre convenience store and off licence is now owned by Punit Patel, who is also happy to be known as Nick.
The store is independently owned, and has the added benefits of being a One Stop franchise, which is part of the Tesco group. The Holland's of Milford name will also be changed to 'One Stop Working with Milford' in the next few weeks.
The previous owner, Kularaj Pathmanathan had purchased the store from Paul & Maureen Holland in 2020, who prior to that, had run Hollands of Milford for 21 years since 1999. During this time, the store had been part of the Nisa family of independent grocers.

Chatting to Nick (Punit), he told me that he and members of his family have bought a house in the village and they will be moving in very soon.
Having experience of working closely with the community in his previous shop in Andover, he now aims to become a valuable member of the Milford on Sea Community.
In the coming weeks a major refit and rebrand will be taking place and new stocks are already arriving in store.
The new stock will be priced significantly less than previously. In fact, many prices are already reduced, so it is certainly worth popping in to take a look.
There are also a lot of clearance bargains on offer right now.
Once settled in the village, Nick aims to open the store daily from 7am to 10pm.
It is expected that you will see the existing friendly Holland's of Milford team of Amy and Jackie behind the counter when you next go in to shop, along with Punit and members of his family.
Nick plans to continue to supply local produce, such as jam, homemade cakes, cheese etc., and add personal touches, such as home-made samosas. This will be alongside the extensive One Stop range of products, together with the competitive prices, and regular special offers, a large group can bring.
Their range includes all of the big brands you would expect to see elsewhere, and indeed everything you may need for your fresh local produce, delicatessen, fresh bread, wine, beer & spirits, kitchen cupboard stocks, household items for daily use and naughty treats for celebration times.
Great value ready meals and sandwich meal deals are just some if the new items you will now find in store.
A Takeaway Service for hot drinks and hot snacks is also available.
