In an age where you can get virtually anything - live ladybirds, a dog-drying bag, a flat-pack house - delivered straight to your door in less than 24 hours, there's less and less need to brave department stores and shopping centres. Amazon, the e-commerce site founded by now multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos in 1994, has been accused of aiding the demise of the Great British High Street. The undeniable convenience of online shopping - coupled with alarmingly high business rates - means that many small businesses can only dream of having a proper bricks and mortar shop. But all that might be about to change with the launch of Amazon's Clicks and Mortar scheme, launched in partnership with Enterprise Nation. The pilot programme will see ten Clicks and Mortar pop-up shops open across the UK, giving more than 100 online brands the chance to grow their high street presence.

Everyone seems to be releasing gazebos with a bar in it for the garden but Aldi's offering comes in cheaper than the rest. The discount retailers pop up bar costs £149.99 and it's at least £50 cheaper than similar ones sold at B&M and Argos. B&M's garden pop up bar costs £200 and Argos' costs £330 . The gazebo bar comes with a hard glass top to balance your favourite drink on and there's a second shelf underneath to store your bottles. There's also an overhead rack to hand your glasses on so there's plenty of space on the bar. There's one big difference between Aldi's bar and B&M and Argos' though...it doesn't come with any stools. So if you wanted bar stools you'll need to purchase them separately and it may eat into your saving somewhat. Aldi's bar comes as a flat pack so you'll need to be prepared to put it together yourself too. The gazebo is being launched as part of the retailer's new summer garden range that also includes a fire pit for … [Read more...] about Aldi selling a gazebo with a bar

Any shopping centre losing its anchor store is going to feel the hit but the owners of the Prospect Centre say there is exciting news ahead. After opening in 1975, the city centre mall has been somewhat dwarfed by the appearance of Princes Quay and St Stephen’s since. And the centre in Brook Street received a blow earlier this year when Boots announced it was leaving to open up a large new outlet in St Stephen’s. The large unit has been empty since the move in May but the centre remains optimistic. “We are pleased to say we are having very positive discussions with some interested parties,” a centre spokesman said, “and hope to be able to announce some exciting news very soon.” Owner NewRiver is continuing to invest in the centre which has a high occupancy rate despite the loss of Boots. The streEAT food court is also full with options including Burger King, Taco el Loco and Eskimoo Milkshakes. Last October Bonmarche moved in to the centre and, while … [Read more...] about Prospect Centre says ‘exciting news’ on way after Boots left
