Hey, guess what’s happening in Cambridge? Wilfred’s sweet shop closed on King’s Parade. They were there for ten years. Their lease ended last year.

Now, a Scottish knitwear company wants to move in. It’s called Kiltane. They want to open a store and have sent plans to the city council. The council will decide about the store’s updates.

The plans outline new signs for the shop and repairing the storefront. Inside, workers will repair the ceilings and use old-fashioned paints and brass. These materials keep the shop’s original look.

Kiltane wants to keep the shop’s old features and restore those historical details. This helps celebrate the building’s past.

Kiltane sells nice wool clothes and has classic designs. Quality and eco-friendly practices matter; they want to offer a special shopping trip.

Kiltane will train local people to work there. This shop is for locals and tourists and is in a well-known historic part of town.
