I just wanted to share something honestly with you all…

Like many other small businesses in Burnley, the recent roadworks around town are really starting to take their toll on us. Footfall in the shop is at a real low at the moment and it’s something we’re really feeling.

Behind every small shop is a family, long hours, big hopes and a lot of hard work. When things like this happen, it can be really worrying for independent businesses like ours.

If you are coming into town, please don’t forget about us. Even the smallest things — popping in for a browse, telling a friend about us, or sharing our posts — genuinely make such a huge difference and mean more than you probably realise.

We absolutely love being part of this community and we’re so grateful for every single person who chooses to support small and shop local.

Thank you for sticking with us.
