We wanted to let you all know that TIQI Too in London Road South will be closing its doors for the final time in the last weeks of September.

Now, before anyone panics — 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻! Quite the opposite, actually. We’re bringing our two shops together under one roof at Bevan Street East, Lowestoft, which means we can run things more smoothly and set ourselves up properly for future expansion.

Here’s what that means for you:

🛍️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. You’ll still get the same friendly faces, the same great customer service, and the same “something for everyone” treasure-hunting experience you know us for.

💻 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼. We’re investing in a smoother, easier online shopping experience so you can browse and buy from TIQI whenever suits you.

This is a step forward for TIQI, not a step back — and we’re genuinely excited about what’s next. Thank you, as always, for supporting us. More updates to follow soon!

Every item in our shop has a story we’ll never fully know.

This week alone we’ve had a 1958 childhood development textbook, a set of Enid Blyton mysteries someone clearly loved to bits, and a rooster-shaped jug that’s survived more house moves than most marriages. We just get to be the next chapter before it finds a new home.

What’s one secondhand or vintage find you’ve bought that turned out to have a story (or a mystery) attached to it — and did you ever find out more?
