Online furniture retailer Loaf has made the move into brick and mortar retail with the opening of the very first ‘Loaf Shack‘ in Battersea, London. 

The up and coming area may be just right for the laid back retailer‘s 8000sq ft outlet, which company founder Charlie Marshall wants to make “the most laid back store in Britain.” 

“Our aim has been to make shopping for furniture online as simple and as hassle-free as possible,” says Marshall. “But there are still a large number of customers that want to see and touch the product before they buy. To respond to that demand we‘ve created a seriously beautiful, bells and whistles store that we‘ve filled with things to make people smile.”  

In the new store, customers can relax and play games in the ‘chill out area‘, as can their children in the ‘little loafers‘ corner. Patrons can even enjoy ice cream at a traditional style parlour

Interview: How Palmer’s 20-year logistics partnership is fuelling its European expansion

Palmer’s may be one of the most familiar names on the bathroom shelf, but behind the cocoa butter bottles is a surprisingly small UK operation. ET Browne UK, which distributes the American family-owned skincare brand, has grown its sales while keeping its core team to fewer than 20 people. Now, as a new Tahitian Vanilla range brings younger shoppers to the brand and the company looks to expand further into Europe, the pressure is falling on the supply chain to keep up.
