Louise Taylor opened Mikey Teas in December 2020.

Despite the challenges of launching a new business during the ongoing uncertainty, Louise said there had been plenty of support.

> “What I love most about Sankey’s Corner is that businesses in the area come together to help each other out, even for simple things such as providing the right change.   
>  
> “We’re offering staff from businesses based at Sankey’s Corner special offers, such as all drinks at a set price to create a feeling of community.”  
>  
> Louise Taylor

Although the bakery could remain open over lockdown, as it offers a takeaway and delivery service, reduced footfall on the high street did affect trade.

Louise said she is looking forward to Mikey Teas’ first summer as more Covid-19 restrictions are lifted. 

> “We’re a close friend and family-run business, and the best part of opening has been getting to know the local community.  
>  
> “Many customers walk in and staff will have a good chat with them while serving them.  
>  
> “Our customers have been really respectful of the guidelines – wearing face masks and social distancing.”  
>  
> Louise Taylor

The business was also supported by advice from Lichfield District Council’s information officer.

Cllr Iain Eadie, cabinet member for economic development, said:

> “This has been quite a year to open a new business and I’m really pleased Mikey Teas has such a positive outlook.  
>  
> “They are obviously settling in well to the community and have been welcomed by customers and other businesses alike with open arms.  
>  
> “We wish the team the best of luck with the new business and hope to encourage more independent ventures to set up shop in the district.”
