The well known High Street fashion store M & Co opened its doors in Hunstanton’s High Street in the former Woolworths building on 19 June. The shop was formally opened by Mayor Peter Mallam, accompanied by Deputy Mayor Carol Bower. Shop Manager, Yvonne Starr, and her staff were duly welcomed to the town but the traditional ribbon cutting ceremony and the doors were thronged by more than a hundred customers eager to check out the new shop.
Shoppers were provided with refreshments and discount vouchers on their maiden visit. I may have missed the actual opening but I popped in for a look myself at the weekend and found a fresh clean, quality shop floor with a colourful array of clothing for children and adults as well as items for the home which I am sure adds the just the right tone for Hunstanton’s High Street and goes a long way to fill the gap left by the abrupt departure of Woolworths.
