I can’t believe we are 3 years old! Please come and celebrate with us today.
We’ve worked with over 260 small businesses since opening our doors in 2021 and not looked back! We’ve met so many inspiring and talented founders along the way and built a strong community spirit. An environment for small brands to share their stories and build connections with customers and each other. It’s been so exciting and incredibly empowering.
Support from our fabulous locals who call in to see each curation every month, our wonderfully engaged social community plus fantastic testimonials spur us on.
We truly believe we do retail differently and have a very unique concept which we love. It’s not plain sailing and while we might make it look easy it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Luckily for us we are a strong team and share the same vision for our pop up ideology.
We want to express our gratitude in person for your loyalty and custom. It’s because of you we continue to grow and thrive. We’ve got plenty of ideas for our future growth which we’d love to share with you too.
Come and join us for a glass of fizz and a cake or two while we take a moment to appreciate everything we have achieved over the last 3 years.

Do please sign up to our newsletter to keep an eye on our journey and thank you for following, engaging, supporting and encouraging us.
We love what we do. 🥰

It’s our 2nd Birthday! Where does the time go?
So this was us just before we opened The Curated Store when being socially distanced was still a thing. It’s hard to believe how things have changed. We were so excited to open our concept store in Stow but also terrified. Would brands join us? Would customers come? Would covid come back? Well here we are two years later and what a amazing time it has been. We have worked with so many brilliant small, independent brands and continued to watch them grow and flourish.
We’ve seen them collaborate with each other, be stocked full time in other shops, go on to open their own shops. We’ve made so many brilliant new friends, been inspired by so many creative people. It has been a pleasure.
So here we are leaping into our third year with both feet. So many plans to develop our own small brand while continuing to showcase amazing small online businesses.
We have so many exciting new businesses joining us this year and we are now taking bookings for 2024.
Thank you to Rachel for being such a brilliant business partner, this would never happened without you.
We are so excited about the future and hope you will all continue to support small, creative businesses and shop local.
Thank you ❤️

Cheers to all the brilliant women out there on International Women’s Day.
I have had the pleasure to work with so many incredible female entrepreneurs since Rachel and I stated The Curated Store.

Need a good spring clean and a lot of exciting plans to action for the shop.

Good Morning Everyone,

Just to let you all know, we are taking a short break after having worked non stop for 18 months. Along with a little refresh of the store we are keen to take some time out to reflect, regroup and re-energise so we can focus on our (pretty exciting) longterm plans for the curated store!

We will re-open on February 11th for a 6 week rotation.

Thanks as always for your support and encouragement of our independent business.
