Supporting Local Business: Independents remain open at The Arcade

Supporting Local Business: Independents remain open at The Arcade

Posted on: 18 Mar 2020

Several independent businesses in The Arcade shopping centre are operating as normal for the time being.

 

With a lot of confusion about Coronavirus itself, and a lack of clarity in terms of what we should and shouldn't be doing as it continues to spread, Bristol businesses are having to make up their own minds as to whether or not to remain open.

 

Bristol shoppers can, for now at least, make the most of a wide range of services operating out of The Arcade, including top-notch coffee, expert key-cutting, hair and beauty and more. See below for an up-to-date list of the businesses that are staying open until advised otherwise.

The Arcade in Bristol.

Taste of Napoli

 

Authentic Italian bakery and coffee spot Taste of Napoli is open as normal, offering up a wide selection of mouth-watering pizza, calzones, paninis, pastries and more. The passionate team know a thing or two about great food, making this one of the best lunch spots in Broadmead.

 

 

Kelly's Nails

 

Kelly's Nails will be operating as normal for the time being, taking care of a wide range of salon procedures including acrylic, gel and shellac gel nails. 

 

 

Techtock Mobile

 

Techtock Mobile is still open, but has limited its services during the outbreak of Coronavirus. The store will be closed at 15:00 every afternoon, and while customers can come into the store to retrieve their devices, the team will not be taking on any new jobs for the time being.

Inked Up

 

Tattoo spot Inked Up is still taking appointments, but has made a few changes to its operation in the midst of the Coronavirus outbreak. While you can still book in with one of the team, family and friends are not permitted to come into the store while you get your tattoo.
