I don't know if William owned the shop- but by 1911 there are lots of ads in the paper listing 2 Upper Market Square, Hanley as :

"KREMO DAIRY CO.
ECONOMY
Every housewife studies economy when she buys OUR goods
The HIGHEST quality at the very LOWEST PRICES"

- it advertises butter, tea, eggs etc. so probably a general grocers.

A snippet on your Grandfather:

Lichfield Mercury - Friday 28 November 1913

OBSTRUCTING THE HIGHWAY
James Norman Sherrat, 14 Baskerville Road, Hanley, was summoned for obstructing the highway in Bore Street on November 13th- Pc Dockerty said he saw a motor car standing outside the Old Crown Inn from 2.55pm until 4.30pm. There was a lot of traffic about at the time. The road at the place in question was 15ft wide- Defendant said he left the car to get something to eat. Defendant was let off on payment of 7s costs.

Can I just say big thanks to you all for the info.... how do you find all that...?
