Title: Hippopots is moving in 2017
Post by: hippopots on December 11, 2016, 08:48:30 PM
Anyone who doesn't use facebook, you'll not have seen our news!

After 4 years in our shop, we are having a change of scene for 2017, and are moving to a different location in San Stef.

We've really enjoyed our time in our premises, and have lovely business neighbours.  But we now feel the time is right to have a change of scene, and move to a different place.

We are away for about a month, after which work will begin in earnest to be ready for the start of the season.....new location will be revealed next year. Merry Christmas!

Well, we now have the keys, and are strating work preparing our new shopfor 2017 season.

I can reveal that we have moved round to the 'old' side of the village, you can find us just along the road to the port, opposite Beer O Clock, and next to Beachcombers.

You can also get to us easily by taking the scenic route along the brach, then walk up the path to the side of Waves.

Hope to see you all!!

  Good,you will be in our neck of the woods.Is it the empty shop next to the hairdressers that used to be the diving shop?

  It's nice and peaceful up that end,no music from surrounding bars,and Bod won't have far to go for his walks.

Hi, hope the work on the new shop is going well ?  -  trying to picture this in our minds eye. If you are next to Beachcombers will you have a similar aspect ,  with front and rear terrace? Perhaps catching the footfall of both beach and village ? Hope it's going well!

Hi Sellsy,

Yes, you're right, as we are now next to Beachcombers we have patio frontage roadside, with a lovely big balcony beachside. No direct access off the beach, but we're just up the pathway next to Waves, so very easy to find.

Work on the shop is progressing nicely.....we've painted right through, created a couple of back room work spaces, and are fitting new lighting, as well as making plans for the layout. However I do occasionally get sidetracked by our gorgeous view....Mr Hippopots says whenever he's popped out to the van to get some tools, when he comes back in I always seem to be out on the balcony! ;D

Well, we're nearly ready!

After lots of decorating, light fitting, shelf assembling, and cleaning, Hippopots new shop should be ready to open in the next few days!

You can find us on the road to the port, just opposite Beer O Clock, and next to Beachcombers.

And remember, you can also get to us via the beach....just walk up the path next to Waves, and we're right there!

We'll be open daily from 10am til late, with the exception of Mondays, when we will be closing at about 8.30pm.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
