 Poster: A snowHead
|
Given the general doom and gloom for retailers on the high street, I hope you don't mind me punting this for a friend...
From now until the end of January, Guildford is hosting Peak Performance's only UK store - a pop-up on the High Street, which will be open until the end of January. It's being run by a friend who is a ski instructor and BASI Trainer - so you're guaranteed some good ski banter.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Damn. Wished they opened one up here. Love their stuff - last for ages

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Peak's website indicates that it is a Snow & Rock store. So not as unique, as their stuff is already in S&R and a few other UK retailers.

There is no Snow and Rock in Guildford so that's a bit odd
Unless that too is a pop up but can't find any references to it

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes, normally banter about themselves in my experience  .
How do you know if a ski instructor is sitting next to you in a bar?
Don't worry, he'll soon tell you.
It probably is a Snow+Rock-run store, just like they have the Arc Teryx store in London and the North Face store in Covent Garden seems to be run by Ellis Brigham. I guess PP have a warehouse full of stuff they can't shift via the normal channels so find a country to dump it in and a retailer willing to staff it.

It's an independently owned Peak Performance store, first of its kind in the UK. It's a pop up until the end of January, if its works you can expect it to be permanent offering the full range of ski, golf, training and urban wear.

Defo independent. I know the owners.
Interestingly, I see that Guildford is on the drop down list on the Peak Performance web site, but doesn't come up.
As I say, the only reason for flagging is that I take my hat off to anyone trying retail in this climate
