You can help decide the next business to arrive at Eden?

Our ‘Startup to Store’ competition is coming to its final stages this coming weekend. The competition encouraged local businesses to enter to be in with a chance to win space in the centre, rent free for six months. We received entries from organisations across Buckinghamshire.

This Saturday (12^th April from 11am – 2pm) sees the final two local businesses take the floor, to showcase their offerings to shoppers on the day and we are encourageing you to head down to place a vote for the business they’d most like to see here at Eden.

The local businesses vying for the rent-free space at Eden this coming Saturday are:

Baked by Marie from Beaconsfield is a local cottage bakery selling cookies, muffins and homemade loaf cakes. Born out of owner Marie’s passion for flowers and baking with her nan when she was a little girl. Having proven to be a hit, Marie now believes it’s a perfect time to get a physical shop and share her baking with Eden’s shoppers.

Chapel House Fragrances creates handcrafted candles and diffusers. Each product is made using high-quality ingredients to deliver beautiful scents that customers love. The brand has built up a loyal following, and has a focus on sustainability, with refill options and plastic-free packaging. The team behind the business believe that winning Start up to Store would be transformative, helping them to grow while enhancing the local shopping experience allow them to bring their products and workshops to a wider audience.

Don’t worry if you can’t make it down, you can vote online here. Voting will be open for one day only, Saturday 12^th April from 11am to 11pm.
