These two Hallmark Gold Crown Stores and Thorntons Franchise (a name associated with high quality confectionery) are busy card and gift stores. Both stores feature a large selection of cards, gift and gift packaging and invitations plus an extensive range of quality confectionery and balloon bouquet services.
A well established family business, the store in Louth was founded in 1967 and has expanded and diversified over the years, steadily building up its high reputation for quality and service. The vendors have capitalised on the shop’s reputation, commissioned a major refurbishment, and gift items were added to the range of products offered to customers. Cleethorpes was refitted in Jan 2001 and both Hallmark Gold Crown Stores are ideally located in prime retail locations situated in the midst of main shopping areas, generating significant footfall for these businesses.
The businesses continue to flourish, the owners have worked hard at listening to their customers in order to provide the goods and service that customers require, high quality cards in a range of themes, gifts, gift wrapping service and personalised wedding stationery. The range of high quality cards are from only the highest quality manufacturers and publishers. Whether it’s somebody’s birthday, Mother's or Father’s Day or any other special occasion such as Valentine’s Day or Easter, the stores have a range of fantastic designs to choose from, which are all categorised to make it easier for customers to choose their selection; this includes classic, cute, funny stuff, lifestyle and trendy
