The Double Storey

The Double Storey has (almost) doubled!

I have been very quiet about The Double Storey for some time - so my apologies. BUT, that does not mean that nothing has been happening there.

For those of you who regularly - or irregularly - visit UpMarket (open every Wednesday and Saturday morning) you will have noticed the new cabin with four new shops. There have also been changes in tenants. So the 'complexion' of The Double Storey has changed.

Previously I tried to focus on one shop every month but this took too long to get to each shop. So now I am going to highlight one shop every two weeks.

But for this missive I simply want to give shoppers an overview of all the shops open at The Double Storey.

Regular visitors/shoppers will immediately recognise that some things have not changed: The Bottom Drawer (which, in my opinion is one of two best tea/coffee restaurants in town if not in the country) is still next door and the gate between our properties is still open giving easy access to those who want to shop/browse at The Double Storey and then go for tea/coffee/meal - or visa versa. The synergy between the two businesses remains strong. The Cellar - purveyors of fine wines and spirits - is still open having concentrated their business at The Double Storey, and offers related products such as coffee (Nespresso) and ci**rs. And Madd about Flowers has continued to supply the most amazing flowers from The Double Storey as well as building a one-stop shop for your functions; worth talking to Abby!

Here is a list of the shops now open at The Double Storey:

Ground floor:

The Apartment (Poppy)
Kitchen and Home (Cordialis)
Madd about Flowers (Abby)
The Cellar (Vanessa)
The Posh Paper Place (Ruth)
and Jewellery (Shiela)
Pai's Cosmetics (unit 1)
Rachel's Silver Box Creations (unit 2)
Mati's Clothing (unit 3)
boheika Clothing (unit 4)
CMS Hairstylists (Christine, Maggie, Sandy) (at the back)
Tracy's Amai'zing Kombucha (at the back)

UpStairs:
The Nail Bar (Leonie)
Blandina's wedding and special occasions dresses and clothes
Travel Connect travel agency (new on the block)

and another new shop opening upstairs later this month.

I also hope to bring you a health shop unit soon.

See you at The Double Storey!

For those who like landmarks, these are the signs on The Double Storey boundary to look out for. I thought it would be useful to have a frontage on the page - so here it is.

We have a new tenant coming in this month; although the porch at the driveway side of the house has had a sign up 'Coming soon', there has been a change and Moyra's Posh Paper and Shiela's Jewellery will be in later this month! Then the gift shop will come into a new structure with the hairdressers. Something more to look forward to this month.

See you at The Double Storey!
