'Funny little' Smithdown Road shop named Retailer of the Year in coveted awards

An independent vegan supermarket has been named 'Retailer of the Year' at the Merseyside Independent Business Awards 2022.

Purple Carrot, based on Smithdown Road, snagged the coveted award in a ceremony at the Titanic Hotel. The popular supermarket first opened in 2014 - the first completely vegan store of its kind in the city - after founders Chris Long and Danielle Kidd's determination to offer vegan alternatives to everyday food items available in mainstream supermarkets.

It stocks organic, locally sourced fruits and vegetables, as well as ice cream, ready meals, sauces, cheeses, sweets, snacks and more. There's also common beauty and hygiene products available to snap up, too.
