After years of success selling crystals, minerals and fossils weekly at Warwick Market, along with other markets and events across Warwick district, BeHoptimystic has expanded to open a dedicated shop.

The Market Place shop, which will opens its doors on May 11, will provide a permanent space for the independent business to display and sell its extensive collection of natural wonders.

Customers will then be able to browse the selection of pendants, fossils, and crystals in the dedicated shop.

The opening of the new shop marks an exciting milestone for BeHoptimystic which has built a loyal following through its presence at local markets and events.

The business now looks forward to deepening its roots within the Warwick community.

Katy Saunders owner of BeHoptimystic said: "I am so excited to begin this next chapter as the business expands and am very grateful to CJ's Events Warwickshire, with whom I started my humble stall and journey.

"Over the last three/four years CJ's have provided a regular weekly space at Warwick Market for me alongside many other brilliant individual businesses which have set the bar of quality high.

"This alongside CJ's service and reliability has given me a sure footing whereby I have been able to build up my business step by step.

"I have created a rapport with the people of Warwick to such a degree I am now in the position to open a shop.

"I'm looking forward to this as well as continuing to work with CJ's and participate in their events alongside the bricks and mortar as I know this will enable me to retain and attain further success in this next stage."

Jamie Walker of CJ's Events Warwickshire said: "We are absolutely delighted to hear that Katy will be opening a bricks and mortar shop in Warwick.

"This shows how key markets are, with very minimal over heads, it allows traders to grown and develop their business over months and years, until they are ready to move on to new chapters such as opening a shop.

"Seeing traders grow and filling empty shops fills our team with great joy, we're in a wonderful position to give traders a platform to grow and we love watching businesses flourish. We wish Katy all the best with her new venture.
