These are just a selection of some new store openings and concepts that we have seen & liked on our various trips within Europe.

The Marmite ‘Pop-Up’ shop in particular has attracted a lot of interest - so maybe it might end up becoming a permanent fixture (no puns intended) on the retail landscape.
