Top award for Clitheroe Emporium

Leading North West retailer The Emporium Interiors in Clitheroe has won the Best
In-Store or Window Display category at a prestigious national industry awards.

The Moor Lane shop and brasserie, famous for its stylish and atmospheric mix of retail and dining (where everything is for sale except the staff), saw off competition from John Lewis’s Oxford Street store, among others, to take the crown at The Great Gifts Retailers Awards.

The result was revealed at a glittering ceremony held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, London, last week (Thursday May 17).

The Emporium Interiors manager, Holly Tyne, said: “This is a great honour for us and we are absolutely over the moon to win the category, especially as the standard of all the entries was really high. This is our second time winning at The Great Gifts Retailer Awards; last year The Emporium Interiors was named Best Independent Gift Retailer.”

The team has now incorporated the trophy in the in-store displays, currently featuring lots of summery ideas and gifts for every room in the house.

Marketing manager Heidi Kettle said: “The award is a well-deserved recognition of the time, effort, flair and talent which goes into each and every Emporium display. As any customer knows, The Emporium not only sells beautiful and unique gifts, it also demonstrates how to display them to the best advantage.”
