Ruskin Glass Centre shop opens


The Natural Soapworks new shop at the Ruskin Glass Centre opened yesterday. We'd like to thank all of our loyal customers who called in to see us, and sent us good luck cards and flowers. We were really touched to receive so many good wishes, and it really made our day! We're still busy stocking the shelves and working on the unit, but here's a picture of how the shop area looked on the first day.
During the coming half term week we intend to open the Ruskin shop between 10am and 4pm on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This will coincide with the opening of the Ruskin Glass Centre's cafe, which will be offering a selection of complimentary cakes and coffee to visitors.
We're likely to be closed later in the week since we are re-fitting the Studio 7 shop, but local customers can ring our new telephone number (01384 399451) so we can advise on opening hours. We will also post an update on the blog, later in the week. We intend to re-open Studio 7 at the Red House Glass Cone on Saturday 30th October for the 'No Tricks, Just Treats' Halloween Funday. There will be no impact on website orders - these will be processed as normal.
The final thing to mention, is that the 2010 Christmas Catalogue is now available to local customers, to pre-order natural skincare Christmas gifts for collection from our Stourbridge premises during November and December. Many of these Christmas gift ideas will be uploaded to the website later this week.

Opening day preparations

We're now working around the clock to ensure the Ruskin Glass Centre shop is ready for opening on Saturday 23rd October 2010. The new treatment room is nearly complete, and we're now moving onto shop fitting and stocking the new shop. We're going to be very busy! For this reason, our Red House Glass Cone Studio 7 is now temporarily closed. We hope that as many customers as possible can join us on Saturday, to celebrate this expansion of our business:

  • Opening day special offers
  • Join the Natural Club to make savings on your purchases
  • Enter our opening day prize draw
  • Receive a discount on your first holistic treatment booking
  • Enjoy a glass of wine/soft drink while you look around the new shop
  • Launch of our Christmas Gift catalogue

Our new address is: The Natural Soapworks, Workshop 7 Ruskin Glass Centre
Wollaston Road, Amblecote, Stourbridge, West Midlands, DY8 4HF. The Ruskin Glass Centre has free on-site parking.
We'll be open between 10am - 5pm on the 23rd, so we hope to see you there!
