Uniformby is sadly closing down after ten years in our Bubble
Sadly, we are losing another independent shop in our Bubble. Uniformby in Formby is closing down. They are selling all their stock that is left for half price. They plan to close on 29th September. We will be sorry to see them go. The closure is due to a number of reasons but the parking situation has not helped at all. If people going to the gym would park around the back in the huge car park available, it would leave spaces clear for the our independent shops. Uniformby 45
