A new coffee shop is urging caffeine lovers to try their sweet treats and hot beverages.

Sully’s, in Fishersgate, is owned by mum-of-three Ami Price and partner Graham Croucher, who have been together for three years.

The couple have opened the coffee shop in St Aubyns Crescent in a bid to free up more time for Ami’s children.

The business is named after Graham, who is affectionately nicknamed ‘Sully’.

Ami, 33, said: “Graham has always wanted a coffee shop and I wanted to start working for myself because we have children with special needs.

“He works for a company as a coffee machine engineer, the location is right near my mum’s, so it all just fell into place.

“I’m feeling everything - excited, nervous, terrified. It will be nice because I grew up in Fishersgate pretty much on that road.

“We wanted to do something that involved people in Fishersgate so we hope it will be a community-based coffee shop.”

Not only will the dog-friendly venue be serving coffee, tea, and other beverages, but also cakes and sweet treats, including gluten-free and vegan options.

These will be supplied by Worthing-based small business, Tanya’s Tasty Cakes.

Ami said: “She was recommended by a friend because they saw her on Facebook.

“She gave us a sample box and they were really good quality.

“We liked the idea that she’s like us- we’re both small businesses, her ambitions aligned with ours, she wants to save up to get her own bakery.

“It’s just been really nice to be able to support each other.”

The shop was opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Fishersgate Flyers’ women’s football team, who are sponsored by the new business.

Ami said: “My partner is a massive football fan and they were looking for someone to sponsor them.

“As adults we are all so busy, I really like the fact that they take that bit of time out each week.

“They’re a really nice bunch of ladies.”

The coffee shop is open 7am till 4pm on weekdays and 8am till 2pm on Saturdays and offers Blue Light Discount.
