Adnams opens new store in Bury St Edmunds
Adnams, the Southwold-based brewer, distiller and retailer, has expanded its retail store portfolio with the opening of a new shop in the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds.
Having launched on 9 October, the store sells a range of Adnams’ award-winning beer, wine and hand-crafted spirits, alongside kitchenware items and gifts.
The new store is situated at 43A Cornhill near to the popular Buttermarket.
Bury St Edmunds is the second Adnams store to include a café. It also features an Adnams tasting bar where customers can ‘try before they buy’.
Never Miss a Retail Update!The store team is led by manager Tom Crittenden and assistant manager Tom Legge. Previously manager at the nearby Waterstones, Crittenden will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the store.
Meanwhile, Legge is a former tasting room manager at the Marianne Estate and sales manager at Warwick Estate, both in South Africa.
Neil Griffin, head of retail at Adnams, commented, “Bury St Edmunds was a natural choice for us when we set about opening a new store in the west of the county. We’re really excited to be here and it is an area we have earmarked for a long time. Located in the heart of the bustling market town, there is a great array of independent shops, as well as high street chains, nearby.
“The new store will offer everything you would expect from an Adnams shop, with the addition of a café, which serves local produce, simply prepared along with recommended drinks pairings.”
