RETAIL RANDOMS

BEFORE YOU GO: APRIL FOOLS DAY

IS THERE NO BEGINNING TO DAN’S TALENTS?

Not content with being SGF President, reigning Scottish Local Retailer of the Year and an all round good guy, Musselburgh Nisa retailer Dan Brown has hooked up with some of his store colleagues to release their first album.

Chock full of dance floor bangers like ‘Would you like a bag with that?’ and “Does not scan - must be free’, this is a must for any retail muses out there. And whatever you do, don’t miss the future classic, “Can I speak to the manager?’.

Available from all good record stores. For one day only. April 1st.

LIVEN UP YOUR BEER FIXTURE WITH BIN JUICE

Speaking of April Fools gags, this one was too close to home not to share. It’s the ultimate ale for the craft beer lovers among your customers: Bin Juice.

‘Launched’ by waste collection company BusinessWaste. co.uk and created to let customers enjoy a drink and save the planet, Bin Juice is made using recycled cans and is available in several variants including a brown ale called The Brown Bin and a stout named Black Bags.

Nice try. It’s not as funny as Dan’s though, is it?
