One of the longest serving shopkeepers in Hutton, Essex, has thanked his customers as more than 20 years behind the counter ends. Thiagarajah Jeganathan retired from the Hutton Shopper in Rayleigh Road on Saturday after serving the community with newspapers and groceries for 22 years. Mr Jeganathan, who ran the shop with wife Rita, says one of the most rewarding parts of the job is the friendship he has built with his customers and seeing youngsters – including paper boys - grow up and start families of their own.
