They say the current business model is no longer viable
The boss of a family-run shop in Carlton has announced a new venture, saying the current business model is no longer viable. Bubblelush Divine Gifts, in Carlton Hill, sells Yankee Candles, figurines and collectables.
Mr Morley, who has 40 years' experience in selling carpets and flooring, said: “We’re closing the candle and gift side down and going back to carpets and flooring, we’re still going to be here [on Carlton Hill] but selling gifts is no longer viable.“Gifts and figurines are luxury items and, when it comes to customers choosing between that or food and electricity, I know which one I’d choose.”
On the reasons for the change, he said: "A large Yankee Candle is £29.99, now we sell them for around £16.99 but I, as running this shop, wouldn’t pay £29.99; it’s a sign of the time - we’ve had a good run [with Bubblelush.]
