No1 Currency Brighton Celebrates 35 Years Serving the City
The No1 Currency Brighton team celebrating 35 years on Ship Street
Some businesses become part of the fabric of a city, and after 35 years on Ship Street, No1 Currency Brighton is one of them. To mark the milestone the team is throwing open its doors for a customer appreciation day on Thursday 3 September, and ImJustBrighton is helping them say thank you to the community that has kept them going for three and a half decades.
The theme says it all: Thank You Brighton for 35 Amazing Years. It is a chance for the shop to recognise the loyalty of the customers, residents, students and visitors who have trusted it with their travel money since the early nineties, and a chance for the city to raise a cup of something to a genuine Brighton survivor.
Thirty-five years in the heart of The Lanes
You will find No1 Currency Brighton at 38 Ship Street, tucked into The Lanes, the city's oldest and most characterful shopping quarter, just off North Street. The building itself is a piece of Brighton history, an early-1800s Regency frontage in a run of listed properties that have watched the city grow around them. Shops on these narrow twittens come and go, but this little currency exchange has stayed put for 35 years.
That kind of longevity is rare on any high street, let alone in a busy city centre where rents and turnover never let up. Reaching 35 years in one spot is a real achievement, and it is built on something simple: looking after people well enough that they keep coming back, year after year, trip after trip.
Everyone is invited to the celebration on Thursday 3 September
A local team people know by name
Walk in and you will most likely be served by store manager Jose Pinto or one of the familiar faces behind the counter, a team Brighton customers regularly single out by name in their reviews for being friendly, patient and straight with people. It is the kind of service that has earned the branch a loyal following and a reputation for doing things properly, with no hidden fees and no pressure, just clear rates and quick help.
"Reaching 35 years is a fantastic achievement and one that would not have been possible without the support of our customers and the wider Brighton community. This celebration is our opportunity to say thank you and recognise the loyalty and trust that people have shown us over the years."
