Makers Store on Park Lane at Meadowhall has closed its doors for the final time. 👋 thank you to everyone who visited our store in the time we were open.
•
You can still find our Showcase store on The Lanes in Meadowhall. We have a selection of the brands and businesses you would have found in Makers Store and we would really appreciate your support.
•
Our team have worked incredibly hard to create a nice retail space in Makers Store which supported smaller, independent and local businesses. Our ethos was to give businesses who wouldn’t otherwise have a space in shopping centres the opportunity to show their products on a bigger stage. We thank all the businesses who supplied us.
•
We have been supported by British Land and Meadowhall who helped us to open this store but even with their assistance it has been too hard to sustain our shop as the overheads are ever increasing and retail as a whole has struggled in recent years. We have suffered losses over the last 24 months which have now become too great for us to continue running this store.
•
We also just want to say thank you to all of our team. Everyone has worked hard to try and make this retail space a success and we are very appreciative of our team. To say they have been understanding of this situation is an understatement, as our store closes some of our team are also no longer with us, this is a real life impact of how difficult retail is and what happens when stores close. We want them to be acknowledged and we thank them for their time with us.
•
It has been challenging to say the least but we are focusing on the future, if you are visiting Meadowhall please do call in at the Sheffield Showcase on The Lanes, say hi to our team and have a look around. We really appreciate your support.

Thanks from the Makers Store team. 👋
