Peckham Rye ?zero waste? shop - urgently seeking new business partner(s)


overcaffeinated

Recommended Posts

I?ve done quite a bit of business planning to open a ?zero waste? shop in Q1 next year. Primarily it?ll be selling unpackaged food/cleaning refills/non-plastic items. Unfortunately, and unexpectedly, my business partner has just pulled out (for family reasons) - and I have premises lined up. So, I?m urgently looking for a new partner.


My medium-term plan would be to work 3 days a week (I have a toddler); that plus seeing the benefits of a co-founder to share ideas, skills, ups and downs (and have fun!) is why I?m looking for a partner. They would need to be able to commit to working at least part-time from the start.


Since I started working on this, a ?zero waste? shop has opened in Nunhead. I don?t believe that matters; ideally it?d be like your local grocers, so our catchment areas would be different. There are plenty of potential customers to support us both.


I should be upfront that due to the timeframe, to secure these specific premises we?d need to have our own start-up capital.


Please PM me ASAP if you?re seriously interested.

Best of luck overcaffeinated. Having just opened a business a year ago I feel your pain and stress! For what its worth I would be really wary about rushing into business with a new partner so as not to lose these premises. If they are absolutely perfect think about getting a loan to open alone and hiring staff.. you can hook up with loads of local small business owners for support but you'll still have control. If the premises aren't perfect let them go and wait till you find the right partner. We very nearly opened in 5 other premises before we actually found the right place .. and are grateful everyday that we waited. ( even though it was painful year and a half!.

    • FWIW, I downloaded the file named ACA PRESS RELEASE 7 October.docx, using its link https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=121617&key=2ad3b20cf9d62e82315a3607eee83ec7 at 17:08 and submitted it to https://virusscan.jotti.org/en-US/scan-file# , which reported "Found nothing". I then uploaded  it to https://acrobat.adobe.com/gb/en/word-to-pdf, and saved the PDF version that created as file ACA+PRESS+RELEASE+7+October.pdf, which I now attach. Added: the second file attached in the OP turns out to be another Word document, containing a QR code image and a link to https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/acapeckham/.  I don't understand why this link couldn't have simply been included in the OP.     ACA+PRESS+RELEASE+7+October.pdf

    • Which Trump thread to choose.  But I’ll pick this one to say some of us were called hysterical for calling out Trump for what he is and what he would do. If we posted something like this a couple of years ago we would be laughed at as unserious   https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-calls-chicago-mayor-illinois-governor-be-jailed-2025-10-08/
    • As far as I am aware, the UK are not selling weapons to Russia and aren’t helping the Sudanese government to commit massacres. I also doubt that the Sudanese authorities claims that their army is “the most moral army in the world” and I also doubt that they are backed up by the majority of the Western world. This is why people are marching on Saturday, to reiterate that killing children is not ok and to show the world that they are not alone fighting against that evil fascist government, nothing more, nothing less. P.S: if you’re aware of any marches going on in London for the poor Sudanese people, I will gladly attend.
