Let’s Talk Shop with Beth Austin from Vinegar Hill

In this episode I talk shop with Beth Austin owner and buyer of Vinegar Hill, a chain of 11 independent gift, fashion and lifestyle stores. Vinegar Hill is a real family affair with Beth, her sister, her brother and sister in law all working in the business. I love how passionate Beth is about the industry and how all the Vinegar Hill stores have their own personality.

What Beth and I spoke about in this episode:

- How Vinegar Hill Started and where the name Vinegar Hill came from

- Their recent rebrand

- Sustainability, plastic and buying more consciously

- How Vinegar Hill finds new products

- Window displays and visual merchandisers

- What a multistore retailer needs from their suppliers

- Building a long-standing relationship with suppliers

- How Vinegar Hill combats the challenge of having different products in their store.

- What Beth is looking for this autumn
