Indoor markets aren’t usually hotbeds of innovation but Stuff in Croydon is nothing if not innovative.
Entrepreneur David Lashmar reckons there is nothing quite like Stuff in the whole of the UK. Since his famous second-hand record shop closed after 33 years of trading, Mr Lashmar has been converting the building into an indoor market comprised of dozens of stalls and ‘shoplets’.
The idea is to offer customers unique goods they could not easily get anywhere else and support new micro-businesses.
“For a lot of our traders, it’s their first business and I am keen to help them out. A lot of big businesses are going bust but its a good time for the small trader.”
Moreover the market is designed to be a destination in itself, making use of quirky design features throughout to create a fresh and fun shopping experience.
A good use for the thousands of empty shop fronts in our towns and city centers?
