A LUXURY ladies fashion store owner says she is excited to be re-opening the doors of her Northwich business when lockdown ends next week.

Natalie Pinch, who along with Jonathan Jones, runs Bella Boutique on the High Street, said they have spent most of the last month renovating the shop, despite experiencing her own Covid-related setback a couple of weeks ago.

She said: "We are so pleased that we will be re-opening next Wednesday (December 2).

"We have been busy getting our Northwich shop ready for its new reveal, and can’t wait for everyone to see it.

"We had a slight setback a couple of weeks ago, when I came down with Covid, and we had to quarantine for 14 days.

"But now it’s all systems go and we could do with borrowing some elves, to get the shops ready for Christmas shopping opening."

Northwich Guardian:

Bella Boutique is re-opening next week in time for the busy Christmas shopping period.

The boutique, which also has stores in Sandbach and Ormskirk, has been operating in the town for more than two years and despite a challenging year, Natalie says she is determined to succeed.

"It has been a hard year for everyone and especially small business, but one thing you can’t do is knock determination and drive out of people who want to succeed, regardless of what gets thrown at them," she said.

"We are staying positive that this is the start of the new normal, and that the only time we have to close our doors again, is at the end of a busy, bustling day.

"Let’s hope this is the last time we have to close our doors to Covid-19."

With a renovation providing customers with a fresh new look, the boutique, which offers a variety of high quality fashion not found elsewhere on the high street, has a brand new range of stock too.

She added: "We hope the residents of Northwich are going to love what we’ve done and of course we’ll be going all out with the Christmas decorations, as always, and the almighty tree is on order.

"Just before this second lockdown, on our last day of opening, we did a 'fill a bag for £50' in all of our shops and we had also done a 30 per cent off promo on our website.

"We just wanted to clear everything and start afresh after lockdown number two.

"It was a huge success and the rails were left almost bare.

"With what was left we got in touch with a volunteer for Cheshire without Abuse and donated what was left to their charity.

"So we definitely gave ourselves a clean canvas to move forward with."

Bella Boutique will re-open on Wednesday, December 2 and will operate from Monday to Saturday, between 10am-5pm.
