Gary and Sabrina Camilleri are new Merrifield residents and the operators of the pop-up café, The Corner Store.

We asked them some questions about their new café and why they have chosen Merrifield as their family’s new home.

Q: What can residents expect from the Corner Store?
A: The Corner Store has friendly, professional staff making and serving great coffee and simple, beautiful food. We will constantly be asking for suggestions and feedback to ensure our customers are as happy as possible. We’ll also be trying a range of dishes which will be added to our weekly specials. The menu will be seasonal, with breakfast and lunch options. Our plan is to extend the Sunday menu to include a barbecue, to keep up the lively community spirit and allow a chance to catch up with your neighbours and bring your family and friends.

Q: What excites you most about opening The Corner Store in Merrifield?
A: We understand that Merrifield needs a place where locals can grab a coffee, a bite to eat, the morning paper, bread, milk or even a milkshake with the kids after a play in the park. The café also provides a fantastic meeting point and place for the community members to bond.

Q: What do you expect will be most rewarding about opening the first café in Merrifield?
A: We believe that the Corner Store reflects our love for both food and the local community. We hope that the Corner Store will become a cosy, inviting space for the locals to catch up for a drink or a bite to eat, and a place for them to invite their friends and family from the wider community.

Q: Why have you chosen to live in Merrifield?
A: After having researched the other estates nearby, we soon realised that Merrifield was by far the best choice for our family. The masterplan ticks all our boxes, with plans for schools, shops and facilities to make our daily life here easy and exciting.
