The Bristol Cheesemonger has soft launched their second store in Bristol on Gloucester Road.
The independent cheese store is run by Husband and Wife team, Jenny and Oli, who ‘spend their time visiting farms and dairies and tasting a significant amount of cheese’ to offer customers the best produce in the region.
It started off as a pop-up at Hart’s bakery 13 years ago before the couple opened their first store at Wapping Wharf seven years ago.
The Bristol Cheesemonger soft launched their second store on Gloucester Road yesterday (October 23) and filled a gap in the community.
The venue was formerly a beer shop, which was fitted very differently to The Bristol Cheesemonger’s need, Oli explained.
“The staff members have been doing an amazing job. Danny and Poppy have been running the Wapping Wharf shop while I’ve been in here every day learning how to DIY things like the plumbing with a mate.
“Everything from installing new plasterboards to plumbing, enormous amounts of sanding and varnishing, painting, tiling... we did all of it.”
Despite being a soft launch and not much advertisement being done, the shop has been very well received by the community, Oli commented.
The new store will be open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 6pm.
