Anglesey toy store could be converted into fish and chip shop

A well-known toy store in the heart of Llangefni could be converted into a fish and chip shop.

Walid Mohamed Hussein-Fadil has submitted a request to convert Look Around Toys on Church Street into an eatery.

The applicant said it was his dream to own his own chippy on the island.

The original building was build around 1834, with the toy store established in 1968.

In his submission to Anglesey Council, the applicant said: “I wish to use the premises as an old fashioned style fish and chip shop with the emphasis on fresh produce cooked in a traditional way. Roast chicken and healthy options will be available.”

He said he had operated takeaway food establishments on the island for fifteen years, adding: “But my dream is to own my own premises, where I have complete autonomy to provide a 5* facilities and service.

“I have served the people of Llangefni for many years and they have proved to be loyal customers, who have stayed with me wherever I am.

“I live in Langefni, and I have a love and pride for the town and its people.

“The opportunity for me to own my own business in the town, close to my heart is a dream come true.

“Please give me the opportunity to serve the people of Llangefni and preserve a beautiful building for years to come.”

If approved. the plans could provide one full-time and three part-time jobs.

The takeaway would be open from 11.30am – 9.30pm, seven days a week and on bank holidays.
