After an incredibly successful launch on Gloucester Road YourStreet is expanding rapidly across Bristol as more independent shops sign up for the UK’s first multi-shop gift card that is just for independent retailers and services.

YourStreet gift cards can now be spent at more than 100 independent shops and services across Bristol, and is being launched in Bedminster on Saturday 28th September 2013.

“We are now proud to be supporting independent shops in Bedminster where new businesses are joining daily." says Co Director of YourStreet Anne-Louise Perez.

"Independent shops across the Bristol are already benefiting from signing up to Yourstreet, and we are proud that Bedminster has embraced our unique gift cards so enthusiastically!"

YourStreet Gift Card was launched this summer in Bristol. The pre-loaded cards can only be spent at independent shops across the city. Previously multi-shop gift cards were only available in the chain stores or shopping malls.  Now the YourStreet gift card gives independent shops the opportunity to be a part of this ever growing market.

"YourStreet retailers are already reporting a renewed support for independent business along Gloucester Road after UWE bought more than 60 thousand pounds worth of cards to hand out to their students this September" says Co Director of YourStreet Imogen.

 "Each fresher received a pre-loaded £10 gift card and they have already started spending their YourStreet gift cards supporting and discovering Bristol’s wonderful independent shopping scene!”

“As a small independent business anything that encourages people to spend their money at places like ours, I’m definitely in favour of” says owner Laura Hart of Harts Bakery.

YourStreet will be launching in Bedminster on Saturday 28th September 2013. Dozens of independent traders will be gathering at the Tobacco Factory Market Place for a family fun day. Supported by YourStreet, UWE and the Bedminster Town Team they'll be showcasing the wonderful products indie traders have to offer in Bedminster.
