Wrexham

Stephen Tapp's Wrexham Trainer Revival store was broken into last month with thieves getting away with £7,000 ($8.600) worth of stock. Facing closure after the theft, a crowdfunding page was set up with the aim of raising £3,500 ($4,300) to save the business. A pledge for the target amount soon appeared on the page from 'Rob and Ryan' and it didn't take long for the Tapp to work out the money was from Wrexham's co-owners Reynolds &amp; McElhenney. The campaign eventually raised over £8,000 ($9,800).
