The Surfwear chain will move into a unit previously occupied by H Samuel on Mostyn Street. For a short period, the unit was utilised by Prom Ally which has now moved into 23 Madoc Street. A spokesperson from Saltrock said: Llandudno and Saltrock are a great synergy. Our brand lives well in coastal destinations where our customers still have sand on their feet. We are a local, family, fashion surf brand that delivers value and style for those customers that love the sea and outdoors as much as we do.
Ally Elouise outside her new shop on Madoc Street in Llandudno A NOT-for-profit social enterprise that helps teenagers in financial hardship with an outfit for their school prom has reopened. After four months of closure, Prom Ally has reopened its doors and is now in a new location - 23 Madoc Street, Llandudno [previously it was based at the former H Samuel on Mostyn Street]. Ally Elouise, 26, who runs Prom Ally, said: December was awful for all the businesses in Llandudno. We had Christmas window displays and hoped to do Boxing Day/January Sales etc which was all ruined. Being back open is such a relief and seeing people slowly venturing out again feels like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, finally.
