Since 2008, access to imported British delicacies and unique giftware has been as close at Peterborough’s Market Plaza in the form of The UK Shoppe.
Boasting the largest in-stock assortment of British foods this side of the Atlantic, the store’s shelves are chock full of teas, breakfast foods, biscuits, beverages and frozen foods, with new items added regularly. Better still, delivery is offered free within Peterborough’s city limit with any purchase of $20 or more.
At the helm of The UK Shoppe is Richard Labelle. He assures that every food item in his store is produced in Great Britain and then imported for sale here.
Labelle says while many of his customers are ex-pats who are familiar with the products his store carries, The UK Shoppe also attracts the simply curious.
Labelle says he learned quickly that every day teaches a new lesson, adding how you adapt and adopt changes as necessary is key to success. Now, all these years on, he couldn’t be happier.
