Business description

The business has traded as a card and gift wrap shop for many years, however within the last few years the owners have taken it a little more upmarket and have secured a ‘Hallmark’ business relationship, whereby they have received support in a total refurbishment of the shop and have gained access to all ‘Hallmark’ branded products. This is not an exclusive arrangement; they are entitled to stock other supplier’s products but they choose to take advantage of Hallmarks huge range of merchandise and giftware which is supplied on preferential terms.
