Little Shop of Heroes opened its doors on Saturday 1st of December 2012. Yes we have been open for a decade, and what an adventure it has been!
From the outset we knew it wouldn’t be fulfilling for us to “just be a shop”. What a mad notion that would be! No, for us it had to be something else. A home away from our home, a place to share joy with friends, customers and strangers. A place to embrace difference and rejoice in “the other”. A place to inspire, a place of safety, a place of familiarity, and a place to seek refuge when the black dog is prowling. It should also be a place of challenge and variety, of free thinking and free speech, a place where curiosity and passion would be celebrated. Over the last ten years we have tried to achieve all of this, we will never stop trying.
