“We have created about seven jobs in Lincoln already and at peak times we will be expanding that as well.

“Everything you can see in the store is brand new and custom made.

“It’s been great feedback everyone has been asking us to come to Lincoln. It’s the first one in Lincolnshire. The closest before now would be Sheffield.

“We’re open Monday to Sunday nine to five.”
