Shrewsbury is a brilliant place to live, work and grow a business. One of Shrewsbury’s strengths is its fantastic variety of local businesses and independent shops – they’re more than part of the town’s identity, but a key part of what makes Shrewsbury the wonderful place we’re proud to call home.
Pretty in Pink is one of Shrewsbury’s local businesses bringing energy to the High Street. Here at Cooper Green Pooks, we’re proud to have helped Graham Holbrook find the perfect home for his business at 6 High Street, Shrewsbury SY1 1SP, and support him through the journey. We caught up with Graham to see how business was going, hear what drew him to Shrewsbury, and learn more about his plans to expand.
A Shop Full of Personality
Stepping into Pretty in Pink is like stepping into a time capsule. It’s more than just vintage fashion – it’s a full throwback to the iconic 80s and 90s. Think music videos from the era, dancing, themed rooms bursting with personality, and even prosecco on Saturdays.
Why Shrewsbury?
We asked Graham what it is about Shrewsbury that captivated him:
“It is an unbelievably beautiful, authentic town with great pubs. The shops are wonderful and the people are just brilliant. There’s a real mixture of ages and backgrounds here that I love.”
How has your experience been with Cooper Green Pooks?
“Pooks have been great. They know their stuff.”
“If I say ‘Can we do this or that?’ they just say, ‘We’re here to help you develop your business, Graham – whatever we can do.’”
We’re incredibly proud to work with businesses like Pretty in Pink. Graham has worked with us on and off for years, and we were delighted to help him secure a space that fits the spirit of his business. You can watch the full interview on Facebook here.
