Store Visit | Liquor Store, Birmingham England

Liquor Store | Birmingham, England.

We're finishing the final Store Visit feature of 2014 with one of my favourites. In fact, it was around this time last year that we first featured this independent retailer. Based in the heart of Birmingham city centre, the Liquor Store is well-known in all the right circles. Since opening in 2012 the store has buily up a strong reputation, though its ability to serve both established UK + US brands, with smaller heritage and streetwear labels.

Along with the level of personable customer service you expect from a small retailer, they're also know as one of the UK's leading denim stores. It's their backbone. Giving customers the option of entry-level denim brands such as Nudie, Unbranded and Edwin, along side more niche labels like Tellason, Hiut, Momotaro + Iron Heart, shows their level of dedication to offering the best.

Their brand list includes; Carhartt, Filson, Folk, Levi's, Oliver Spencer, Patagonia and Universal Works, still alongside Life's A Beach, Majestic Select, Orsman, Palace and TSPTR. The Americana boxes are ticked too - you're find Buzz Rickson's, Ebbets, Lee 101, Pendleton, Red Wing and Tanner Goods. They're also one of the only UK stockists of US-made Pointer Brand.

I had the pleasure of chatting the Liquor Store's owner, Phil, about his background, enthusiasm for menswear + denim, working with local retailer, and plans for the future. I'll be catching up with Phil in the new year. We're seeing a certain shift in retail, and consumers are eager to support their local, but what the Liquor Store is offering is something well worth travelling for. Liquor Store, Great Western Arcade, Birmingham, B2 5UH.
