Last week, we visited Mike Nijjer’s Food & Liquor in central Birmingham, where the team hosted a fantastic in-store party to welcome students for Freshers’ Week! 🎉

The event featured a live DJ, free food, merchandise and exclusive giveaways, with brilliant support from Hyola and Dojo.

Well done to Mike and the team for putting on a great event and creating a real buzz in-store! 👏

FEATURE STORY 🚨

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced a £210 million package to regenerate England’s high streets, with plans to turn boarded-up buildings and neglected town centre spaces into places that better serve local communities.

For independent retailers, the condition of the high street is more than an issue of appearances. Empty units, declining footfall and a lack of investment can affect the wider trading environment, while a busier and more attractive town centre will help create opportunities for small businesses.
