Sun, sea, and… struggling supermarkets? Tuesday’s Bargain-Loving Brits offers a mixed bag of entrepreneurial endeavors, from hot food counters to heartwarming dog rescues. In Torrevieja, supermarket owners Andy and Rita are facing the harsh realities of running a business abroad. A year of relentless work, with only a single day off, has left them wondering if their Spanish dream is turning into a sun-baked nightmare. Their Hail Mary? A new hot food counter and a rather ambitious surfboard sign. Will it be enough to lure in customers or will they be left adrift in a sea of red ink?
Meanwhile, in the hills of Busot, dog sanctuary owner Pat Earle is throwing a pool party, courtesy of a generous benefactor. But amidst the splashing and canine camaraderie, a major announcement looms – a potentially game-changing land donation that could secure the sanctuary’s future. It’s a story guaranteed to tug at even the most cynical heartstrings.
And finally, for those who appreciate a touch of DIY daring, we meet Andrea in Coín. She’s transforming her 19-year-old home into a wedding venue. While her vision sounds romantic, the execution involves some questionable choices, including wielding a chainsaw near a towering eucalyptus during high winds. Will her gamble pay off or will the wedding bells be drowned out by the sound of crashing timber? Tune in to witness the triumphs and tribulations of Brits abroad, chasing their dreams under the Spanish sun.
Bargain-Loving Brits in the Sun airs Tuesday, 7 January, 2025, at 4:00 PM on Channel 5.
