Fryern Arcade’s Fresh Look: MIBI, D & G

April 12, 2014 By Janet Williams 12 Comments

The Fryern Arcade in Chandler’s Ford is like a playground for the Musical Chairs game.

Shops have moved around.

Now MIBI has moved from No 2 to No 12, where Southern Jewellers used to be.

D&G has moved from the corner to the opposite, now next to The Flower Shop and the post office.

In early January, I wrote about major changes in the Fryern Arcade.

MIBI gift shop

The delightful Gift & Home shop Mibi re-opened on 31st of March 2014. The shop is run by Jennie Blake. Mibi has been in Chandler’s Ford Fryern Arcade for nearly 8 years.

The shop carries a relaxed, urban feel. The new shops looks bigger, with exposed ceilings and more wall space. Mibi has also started selling Plumen, designer low energy light bulbs.

D & G Homeware

D & G now carries a more modern image. D & G’s new signs read: D & G Hardware (printed in red) and D & G Homeware (printed in green).

When D & G was at the old Martin’s newsagent site on the corner, its sign was only D & G Hardware (printed in red).

Readers on Chandler’s Ford Today may still remember our debate on Chandlers Ford vs Chandler’s Ford.

The old D & G sign used Chandlers Ford, and the new D & G signs now use Chandler’s Ford.

    Perhaps we could raise money for charity by running a sweep to see if anyone can determine the next shop to swap location ?

    £1 a go and 50% of winnings to go to charity of winners choice (a proper charity, not the “charity begins at home” sort!)
