Opening a second store was deemed as a smart idea by customers of the Whitby store as it meant having to travel a smaller distance to the tourist attraction with another Yorkshire gallery opening more locally. Whitby will still be the main location of the studio chain as they have more space to build larger canvases and print for customers to deliver to their homes.
She continued: “The Corn Exchange is full of small businesses and it’s quite an artsy place, very indie so I feel like it is quite unique and fits in really well here. The people that work in the stores here have all been really lovely and friendly.”
