Cheadle shop opening

We opened our new branch in Cheadle today and thanks so much to all the local retailers who made us feel very welcome. Thanks also to everyone who came and enjoyed a chat and a drink with us while looking through our unique range of kitchen displays. It was a lovely day with 3 appointments made for next week. Fab! But after all the champagne has been drunk and the nibbles nibbled I thought you might like to take a sneaky behind the scenes look at what went on to open the shop on time.

We saw these premises in early March

And when we went inside this is what we found.

Not a pretty sight. A lot of hard work ahead for Darren. 5 weeks to go until opening day. Gulp! Let the rip out commence.

Opening day 21 April 2012. Thrilled with the transformation!

Big thanks to Huw, Darren, Janet and Phil Stevens, Adrian the decorator, Bob my landlord, all our neighbours for endless tea when we didn’t have any power, Dale, Jason, Asad, Sam, David, Eric, Tony of Daisy Hill Electrics, John the Glassman and Mum and Dad. Thank you all so much for all your help and support. I know it’s a cliche but without you lot this wouldn’t have been possible. I really do appreciate it. Love to you all xxxxxxx
