THE Galashiels Emporium has moved from the garage on the Peebles Road to the shop previously occupied by Mill's Wallpaper and Paste in Channel Street.
The Emporium claims to sell ‘quirky’ items at reasonable prices and stocks a wide range of practical and luxury products.
The diverse range of items currently on display include a carousel horse, an old national till, a suit of armour, a fur coat, assorted jewellery including pocket watches and so much more.
Dan Howard who is originally from Lancaster moved to Galashiels 25-years ago and has been trading since then.
He said: “I love Gala and I am delighted to be in the new shop and I’m really on board to help support the town centre.
“Online shopping is OK but you can’t beat seeing items in front of you and speaking face to face.
“We stock statement pieces and unusual items not available elsewhere and I would encourage shoppers to pop in and see for themselves.
“Our stock changes on a daily basis so there is no end of times people can visit.
“We have regular customers who support the shop and that will increase with the additional footfall here in Channel Street. “
Thomas Farrell who was born and bred in Galashiels is a regular customer and he echoed Dan’s comments.
He said: “There is something here for everyone and I’d recommend coming in to take a look for yourself.”
The shop still retains the well-known Hall sign but that will be replaced soon.
