Thirza Legg, who owns Zero Hub at 25-27 The Martlets, said she has seen plenty of familiar faces shopping for food and products, as well as many new visitors.
Thirza, 33, said she had worked with Meg King at Scrapless during its final 18 months before it closed on July 22, 2023.
She said: “There was still quite a lot of interest from Meg’s regular customers and people who were still shopping in that sustainable retail way. So I decided that it was worth giving a go and keep it going.”
Thirza, who lives in Haywards Heath, said it has been ‘really lovely’ having people she knows coming in and saying how glad they are that there is still a refill store in town.
Thirza said people bring their own packaging to Zero Hub. She explained: “It might be something they have already bought a similar product in before or just anything: Tupperware, tubs, various bottles and things. We work on a weight basis so people will just weigh their containers as they come
