Card Stop

Card Stop has a cute and fun exterior, and is the place to head if you want a greetings card with a difference. Selling all necessary gift accoutrements, this store serves a handy purpose.
However, in comparison to shops of a similar ilk nearby, Card Stop is definitely not the number one store of its kind in this area. Derbyshires has a much better array of meaningful cards and balloons.
Still, Card Stop has friendly staff, and is a well cared for local store, and it’s for this reason that I hope it continues to prosper during this difficult economic climate.

Stop, in the name of cards! It’s Card Stop which is the third dedicated location within half a mile to buy greetings cards in a town of a size which surely cannot support such things. Regardless Card Stop soldiers on, selling Bestie and Odd Squad funnies as well as Forever Friends and other cutesy sorts. You know the drill, they have a wide range of cards for most occasions. Not as broad a range as Derbyshires but with more choice than Formby Cards and Balloons. It isn’t really as good as either of those places though as it sells neither balloons nor Formby themed towels. They do sell wrapping paper though and gift tags, which are third and fourth only to presents and cards as the most important special occasion-​related accoutrement. It is very close to the Royal British Legion and the Gild Hall where the majority of birthday parties are booked for. I have, I am ashamed to say, exploited this on more than one occasion.
