A fashion boutique pop-up shop has opened its doors in Angel Pavement in Royston.

The new retailer, Madisons & Co, is an online ladies fashion boutique, but owners will now have a shop front at the old Great Fit premises during the Christmas period.

Entrepreneur Kerry Oakman said: “We hope to offer the perfect cocktail of fresh new brands, a pinch of perfect gifts, a splash of inspiration from our personal stylist and a spritz of exceptional customer service.”

Earlier in the year, Royston First, the local Business Improvement District, invited responses from anybody interested in participating in a Royston pop-up shop.

Town manager Geraint Burnell said: “The idea of a pop-shop is to improve the town by filling an empty retail unit while at the same time giving a new retailer a chance to taste ‘life on the High Street’. Royston First acted as a facilitator for this.”
