James is the fifth generation of his family to run a store in Bradford on Avon and it’s his roots to the town, as well as his passion for traditional shopkeeping (even down to the traditional brown overalls!) that keep customers coming back.
“We have no gimmicks, no loyalty schemes, no buy-one-get-one-free deals,” says James “We like to keep things simple and we try to offer our customers a pleasant shopping experience. I think people are looking to return to the high street to do their shopping: if you’ve been to warehouse store you’ve been to them all, and they’re not selling you an experience, it’s more of an ordeal.”
The front of the shop enjoys a seasonally changing display of plants – expertly grown at their other local business Avonfield Garden Centre – whilst inside you’ll find ironmongery, household goods, DIY, electrical, plumbing, garden equipment and tools. Above all, you will find helpful, knowledgeable staff, what more could you wish for!
