In the run up to the Easter weekend, gift and lifestyle retailer Lark opened a tenth store in Chiswick, West London, involving a fast turnaround. “We were open less than ten days after getting the keys for the new shop,” co-owner Priya Aurora-Crowe told GiftsandHome.net. Continuing the expansion, a further four Lark stores will be opening over the next 12 weeks.
To celebrate the opening of Lark in Chiswick, a grand opening was held on 9 April, “with over 500 free gifts for anyone who followed us on social media in the store. We did this until the free gifts ran out which took about four days,” continued Priya.
Priya’s husband and co-owner, Dominic Crowe, did all the building work and carpentry himself while Priya focused on the merchandising and stocking of the shop.
“Customer feedback has been absolutely amazing, with everyone super welcoming to us. The Easter weekend was fantastic and Chiswick performed the best out of all our stores,” confirmed Priya. “The selection of products are the same across all Lark stores which has made our expansion easier.”
