Win £100 to spend at independent shops in Uxbridge town centre
DISCOVER THE UNIQUE BUSINESSES THAT MAKE UXBRIDGE TOWN CENTRE SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT
NOW, more than ever, it’s vital to support those independent retail businesses that bring a unique flavour to the communities they serve.
Uxbridge is no exception; a trip into town is filled with opportunities to purchase something special, and, by doing so, support the independent businesses that are the lifeblood of this Greater London borough.
That is why Uxbridge BID (Love Uxbridge) is celebrating the amazing selection of independent shops, hairdressers, beauticians, restaurants and eateries the town centre has to offer.
WHAT IS THE BID?
Uxbridge BID is a non-profit organisation that represents the local business community and works to promote and improve their designated BID zone - in this case, it’s Uxbridge town centre.
Uxbridge BID aims to make the town centre a better place to live, work and socialise and increase visitors by promoting Uxbridge to a wider audience.
WIN £100 TO SPEND AT YOUR FAVOURITE STORE
So, how can you help? Well, that’s easy, you could enter the ‘Love Uxbridge, Love Independents campaign’ #uxbridgeindies competition and win yourself £100 to spend at your favourite independent outlet.
To enter, tag @loveuxbridge #loveuxbridge and tell them your favourite independent store and why you use them.* The BID team will then pick one winner at random.
With more than 100 businesses covering everything from barbershops to yoga studios, and beauty salons to waffle stores they’ll be business you’ll love, so let everyone know and boost their brand.
Of course, online shopping is the choice for many now and these the Uxbridge independents recognise that, so if you can’t make into town virtually visit them, a list of the businesses and their websites can be found at www. loveuxbridge.co.uk/independents.
Here you can book a table at your favourite diner, order a takeaway, get advice on a new kitchen or order vouchers as a gift.
If you want to know which business is where, you can download the town centre map by visiting loveuxbridge. co.uk.
You can also check out BID’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages @LoveUxbridge, to find out more about the businesses in the BID, with details about their opening times, locations and websites, along with pictures to give you a feel for what they’re all about.
