WE’RE FINALISTS! 🤩
I’m not very good at promoting myself, but I’m absolutely delighted to share that Maggie & Belle is a Finalist for Small Independent Business of the Year in Chichester & District Business Awards.
When I first opened this little shop back in 2015 (11 years ago this month!) with a seven month old Belle on tow, I could never have imagined where the journey would take me. These are just a small selection of some of my favourite memories from the shop 🩷
Over the 11 years there have been plenty of changes, challenges, lots of hard work and so many wonderful moments along the way. Through it all, my love for independent retail and creating a shop that people genuinely enjoy visiting has never changed. I’m incredibly proud of what Maggie & Belle has become, and I certainly couldn’t do it without my fabulous team.
A huge thank you to all our lovely customers, whether you’ve been shopping with us since those early days or have recently discovered us. Your support really means the world.
Just being recognised alongside other brilliant businesses is such a lovely achievement, and I’m going to enjoy this little moment of celebration!
Here’s to independent shops, our wonderful high street and all the small businesses giving it their all! 🥂
