More independent retailers inside The Arcade to reopen
Posted on: 10 Jul 2020Several retailers inside The Arcade will reopen on Monday 13 July, following a further easing of lockdown measures.
Located in Bristol’s shopping district, you’ll find The Arcade - a Grade II listed shopping quarter. It’s a hub for independent businesses; from sustainable fashion brands to a specialist hair salon for kids.
From Monday 13 July, following a further easing of lockdown measures, several retailers inside the quarter will reopen for business.
Retailers include beauty salon Beauty Zone and Inked Up – a local tattoo and piercing studio.
Beauty Zone will reopen with limited services and will perform no treatments involving the face. Those visiting the salon will be asked to wear a mask.
Inked Up is also reopening with slightly reduced services, and has announced details of in-salon social distancing measures on the Inked Up Facebook page.
In the announcement, the studio has said it will be operating on an appointment-only basis, and those entering the salon must wear a mask.
The Arcade began welcoming back shoppers in June. To celebrate its reopening, a brand-new ‘Thank You NHS and Key Workers’ mural has been displayed.
The historic quarter also introduced a new one-way system to implement social distancing.

Food businesses in The Arcade have also reopened, including Italian café Taste of Napoli and custom milkshake bar Shakeaway.
