Late night Thursdays are taking off in Colne, as more businesses sign up to open later; until 7 p.m. Known as Lancashire’s Capital of Cool thanks to its great range of independent shops and businesses, over 20 are now opening late on Thursdays. Paul Collins from Pendle Council’s Town Centres Team said: “Shopping habits are changing and it’s great that lots of Colne businesses are adapting. We’re urging local residents to come out and take advantage of late night shopping in Colne in the hope that the businesses trying it out will continue to open late.” Grahame Wharton, who chairs the Colne Town Centre forum said: “As an incentive, all businesses in the Colne Loyalty Card scheme will be offering DOUBLE the points on Thursday nights!”
Sandra Fernandeze, of Pendle Belles, the popular vintage and collectors’ shop near the Town Hall said: “We decided to do late night openings on Thursdays because we wanted to give people who were working 9-5 the opportunity to shop after hours. We’re bringing the big city way of life to our small town!” The businesses taking part in Late Night Thursdays in Colne include:
