The boss of a family-run shop in Carlton has announced a new venture, saying the current business model is no longer viable. Bubblelush Divine Gifts, in Carlton Hill, sells Yankee Candles, figurines and collectables.
It also sells carpets in the shop - and this is the direction staff are intending to prioritise. Andrew Morley, co-owner of the shop, now intends to specialise solely in selling carpets and flooring.
Mr Morley, who has 40 years' experience in selling carpets and flooring, said: “We’re closing the candle and gift side down and going back to carpets and flooring, we’re still going to be here [on Carlton Hill] but selling gifts is no longer viable.
