ButterStick

First BiscuitSpoons® now ButterSticks®. The days of ordinary cutlery look numbered.

Back in 1847 long before the invention of mod cons like supermarkets, iPads, and ButterSticks®, Edwin Henry Booth opened a little tea shop in Blackpool. Since then the family business has grown into a chain of very nice big shops selling lots of quality stuff including, as of this month, Peppersmith gum. Booths are based all over the North of England, and you can find your local one here.

It’s the first big shop we’ve been in so it’s an important thing for us. If you find yourself in one of their stores please drop us a line and let us know if you could find us and how we’re looking.

John Barnes holds some Peppersmith

"I come from Booths, my name is John Barnes, when I do my thing, the shop sells bananas (and lots of other quality fresh produce)."*** John Barnes, Grocery Manager of Booths in Settle, holds one of the first cases of Peppersmith to hit the shelves.

***I have been asked to point out this is a rubbish joke referring to the timeless Anfield Rap and not the actual words of John Barnes, General Manager of Booths in Settle.
