enjoymuzic celebrates first anniversary at Royal Quays

North Tyneside husband and wife team, Beth and Dave Arnott-Mellish are singing to the sound of music as they continue to share their knowledge with customers visiting their store, ‘enjoymuzic’ in Royal Quays Outlet Centre in North Shields.

Celebrating their first anniversary at Newcastle’s only outlet scheme, enjoymuzic provides great value musical instruments, accessories, songbooks, exam materials and music gifts to offer its customers a ‘one stop shop’ musical shopping experience.

Dave Arnott-Mellish, director at enjoymuzic, said: “We decided to set-up the company about five years ago. It’s something we’d always talked about doing. Beth studied music at University and together we really wanted to combine our passion for music, business experience and knowledge to create a great brand founded on quality and good advice.

“We started off in a little store in Cullercoats but we wanted larger premises and promote our offering to more people so we made the move to Royal Quays.”

Royal Quays’ centre manager, Judith Ramshaw, said: “We were thrilled to welcome enjoymuzic to Royal Quays last year and it’s fantastic to see the store go from strength-to-strength over the last 12 months.

“Our aim is to offer our customers a wide variety of high quality brands. We welcome opportunities to work with local retailers to develop flexible packages to suit their individual needs and help where we can with areas such as store presentation, marketing and promotion.”

Royal Quays has 50 stores which employ around 500 staff, making it an important employment hub for the North Tyneside area.

It is home to a number of top brands offering up to 60% off RRP such as Marks & Spencer Outlet, Nike Factory Store, Gap Outlet, Collectables Outlet, Clarks, Hallmark Outlet, Next and Mountain Warehouse, along with a vast range of local, independent retailers specialising in areas such as sport, fashion, jewellery, music and electrical items.

As well as attracting famous brands, since it was opened in 1996, Royal Quays has achieved great success in assisting local retailers looking to get to the next stage of their development.

Packages include competitive and flexible rent agreements that can be linked to store performance as well as expert advice from the on-site management team on marketing, shop design, presentation and sales.
