An electrical supply shop on Wollaton Road, Beeston, has shared the secrets to its success as it celebrates 100 years in business. Reginald Applebee opened the shop in 1920 its original location on the High Street.
His great-granddaughter Stacey Graham has now taken over the successful shop and is determined to mix the modern with the traditional. She felt it was her duty to carry on the legacy of the store and is now the fourth-generation family member to own it.
"I was in a time of my life where I had had children and was working part-time. I felt it was my duty to carry it on as Applebee's is well known in Beeston and we had plenty of customers who said, what would we do without the shop as it sells everything?" she said.
