Feature Friday with Xanadu : Retail Seasonal Stock Increases

Xanadu

Welcome to the first Feature Friday from Bluestone Insurance Services where each week we speak to an independent local company about the business issues they face.

In January we will focus on the retail sector.  This week Danny met with Robert & Phil from Xanadu.

Xanadu is an established Furniture, Home ware and Fairtrade shop located in The Stable Yard just off Black Jack Street in Cirencester.

Robert and Phil started their business in 2012 occupying just one of the units. Seven years later, they now fill 5 units offering hand painted restored furniture, home ware and garden ware.

With it’s individual furniture pieces, Fair Trade products and the warm, friendly welcome from Robert and Phil, Xanadu is a must place to visit whilst shopping in Cirencester.

One of the many challenges that Robert and Phil face is having the right balance of stock to keep during busy seasonal times such as Christmas, where many of their suppliers are closed.

During peak periods like this, retailers need to keep a level of stock that exceeds their usual levels. A retail insurance policy will be able to help accommodate this at no extra cost with up to 25% extra stock cover giving retailers peace of mind during such periods.
