SHOPS
Our shops
In January we were thrilled to
open a brand new shop in Higham Ferrers in the former Colemans Stationers at 28 High Street. Yvette Prior and her team of staff and volunteers worked tirelessly to sort, clean, steam, price up stock to be able to open the doors on Friday 13th January. We were confident that we had a great shop in a great location, and we were right. The
till didn’t stop ringing all day and customers left with a smile on
their face. The official opening, on 27th January, where The Mayor of Higham Ferrers Cllr Nigel Brown cut the ribbon, was attended by Joey Coleman and other special guests.
We are particularly pleased to be joining the thriving community of independent shops in this part of the county, and we are grateful for the goodwill that has been shown to us by local businesses and new customers at every stage of setting up the shop.
We already have a fabulous team of volunteers, including some students who are doing their Duke of Edinburgh Award.
