Makeover opportunity for Independent Shops by "Mary Queen of Shops"

Want to be in the new series of "Mary Queen of Shops"? if you're a non fahsion independant retailer consider this....

Mary Queen of Shops’ wants YOU!

 BBC2 is making a new series of ‘Mary Queen of Shops’ – and offering a unique and invaluable opportunity to independent businesses in towns like YOURS!

 Due to the huge success of earlier series, they are now making a third.
 

And – having worked previously with fashion retail independents – Mary is now focusing upon the non-fashion independent retail sector.

 Britain’s leading retail guru, Mary Portas turned Harvey Nichols into a modern powerhouse of fashion and style and she has a phenomenal talent for unlocking the potential of businesses – both large and small. 

 She has had much success with fashion retailers. But the current economic climate means it’s tough for the entire independent sector. So Mary wants to take on a very different challenge: to bring her Midas touch to 6 non-fashion British high street independent stores.

 These might include a:

·Bakery

Hair Salon
Greengrocer
Convenience Store/Newsagent
Chemist
Home or Hardware Store
But Mary is keen to consider any type of independent retailer.

 It is extremely difficult running a small business and with the current economic climate as an additional factor, it is no wonder that up to 100 shops a day are closing in Britain. But, through expert advice, sharing the tricks of the trade, and devising a solution specific to each shop, Mary can try to get stores on the road to success. It’s a very special, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

 Is there an independent shop or shops in YOUR town which is getting left behind or struggling and would like some help from Britain’s leading retail expert? Contact the BBC2 team direct to find out more. They would love to hear from you.

Please call Tom or Nikki on 020 7967 1285
