Opening Hours
Winter Opening 
Monday to Friday 9.15am to 1.15pm and 2.15am to 5.15pm

The Shop
The shop has been refurbished, painted and re-stocked with auto items, maps, books, sweets, snacks and very recently a range of Fair Traid food. Hot tea and coffee and cold drinks are also on sale.

The Post Office
In November 2008 Jan Moulding, who previously ran the Post Office in Ardvasar, happily handed over the keys when the Post Office moved to the Filling Station.
Officially company chairman Duncan MacInnes is officially sub Post-Master for the Post Office but Archie undertakes the actual day-to-day-management.
Sleat Trading successfully arranged an increase of opening hours paid for by the Post Office from 6 up to 20 a week. However, the Post Office will actually be open 35 hours a week and longer in the summer.

Visitor Information Services and Internet Cafe
The shops acts as Sleat local Visitor Information Centre and is the public face of the Tourism Development group.
Local businesses join for £50 which allows them to display business information at the Centre and in teh Notice Board on Armadale Pier. 
There is free Internet access.

Garage
The garage has been leased to MacGillivray Motors. If the number of cars regularly parked at the garage is any indication, business is brisk and fully appreciated by the locals. MOT services are being planned for early 2011.
