THE GLOSS and @the_shopkeepers launch 2022 Best Shops Ireland campaign - and we want to hear from you! It’s no secret that we love independent, one-of-a-kind shops, shops that have a special place in their neighbourhood and that feel authentic because of their unique take on products and merchandising. We’re delighted that so many small businesses in Ireland are thriving despite the challenges of the past few years, and so The Gloss Magazine is partnering with Theshopkeepers.com to find and celebrate unique, creative and inspiring independent shops. Extraordinary retailers, from coffee and flower sellers to bookshops and markets. Stores that delight with discovery and inspire browsing. Shops that we visit when we travel around the country or local ones that we love to return to again and again. We believe it is important to continue to support our communities of local, small and independent shopkeepers that keep our towns and villages vital. Whether in real life or online. Travelling around Ireland this summer? If you discover a very special shop you want to support by sharing, submit your nomination using the form on thegloss.ie (you’ll find it through the link in our bio or by visiting www.thegloss.ie/bestshops/). Or share here on Instagram tagging us @theglossmag & @the_shopkeepers and post a pic of your favourite shop using #TheGlossBestShops. We look forward to receiving your nominations!
