The Snog shop is born

Diary of the fit-out of our first shop.

20 March 2008

It’s been hard work finding the perfect place for our very first Snog shop. But today we have signed the lease for a great location at Thurloe Place, in fashionable South Kensington.

We’ve got the best design team in place, some incredible ideas for how the store should look and now we just need to do it.

A prototype of our shop sign arrives on site. The pink acrylic fins looks great and we are all feeling the excitement about the presence the shop will have on the street.
