#Love local, support local
Plymouth Retailers:
Open for business
The past year has seen many of our beloved Independent retailers having to close their doors and find new ways to attract buyers to their wares. The City's retail credentials are enhanced by the rich and varied products created and promoted by our 'Indies', and for many, April 12th can't come soon enough.
To remind you of the fantastically bespoke items that will be waiting for you on your return, we've asked some of our local retailers to pick a couple of items to tempt you in.

We’ll be reopening on 12th April 2021!
We have missed seeing our wonderful customers over the past few months. At Drakes we’re so excited to get back to doing what we love and helping you find gorgeous jewellery and striking watches for every occasion. We’d like to thank you all for your continued support, especially over the past 12 months, it really does mean a lot to us all.

Significant change has been demonstrated in consumer behaviour and subsequently retail — ranging from technological advances to consumer expectation. In this article, we’ll look at the different shopping habits consumers have experienced over the years. Click here to read more..
