Independents' Day º£½ÇÊÓÆµ 2021: Five North Staffordshire retailers you should know about

Independents' Day is a national campaign to support and promote independent businesses across the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ

Five independent retailers based in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire you should know about

Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire has seen an uprising of new independent businesses over the last few years.

The county has welcomed the launch of everything from thriving city centre cafe bars and bistros to beauty salons, bridal shops, hairdressers and estate agents.

But like many non-essential retailers across the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ, small businesses across the region have been hit hard by the pandemic, forced to navigate various lockdowns and Covid-19 restrictions in order to survive.

That is why BusinessLive - and parent company Reach plc - is backing Independents' Day on July 4, to support and promote independent businesses across the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ, as part of its ongoing #BackForGood campaign.

Here we take a look at five independent retailers based in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire which are definitely worth a visit this weekend.
