One of our Blueberry Pop Up Shop trainees Jordan said:

"I like the Pop up Shop as it helps me build confidence throughout the years by serving and dealing with customers. I also like making things to sell in the shop. When other trainees sell items and customers buy their items it brings a smile to the trainee’s faces."

The shop is open 10am to 3pm Monday to Friday. (Customers can get in touch with any questions and request items reserved or delivered locally working with the Wednesday bike delivery team. Our shop contact number is 07741910174)
