Continuing an encouraging, recession busting trend, previous online-only shrimp seller Sharnbrook opens new bricks and mortar retail premises.

Saturday, December 14 sees Sharnbrook open shiny new retail premises in Rushden, Northants.

The purpose facility is intended to import, breed, wholesale and retail freshwater shrimps, in a move which owner Lucas Witte-Vermeulen believes to be the only one of its kind in the UK.

"Products will range from RO units, TDS meters to TMC's latest freshwater tropical lighting systems, shrimp soils, mosses and a whole host of other shrimp maniac treats," said Witte-Vermeulen.

"And 16,000 shrimp! Come and see our shrimp displays and pick some of your own  from our 6m/20' tank.

The store opens at 10am on December 14, 2013 and will stay open until late.
