Mary Portas

Pilots of Mary Portas' idea of Town Teams are beginning to get a step nearer.

Local towns have been among those bidding for some of the available money to develop their town centres.
Towns need support if they are to compete against the changes to the way that we shop.

I saw this article this morning and thought that might be one way to inject a little fun into the High Street.

Shops could be renamed with punny or imaginative names - an alternative way of rebranding the High Street perhaps ?

Can anyone come up with some other examples from their own towns ?
Good ones that I've seen are Balti Towers in Derby, and Sam & Ella's Sandwich Bar in Sheffield.

Also reminded of the old favourite SHOP HORROR website which I've blogged before.
