An independent guitar shop selling some of the worldโ€™s most revered musical brands is moving to Beverleyโ€™s thriving Flemingate centre as its business continues to grow.

Guitar Galleries Managing Director Matt Dunn is moving his Beverley store to the townโ€™s Flemingate centre to accommodate the growth of the business.

Guitar Galleries opened in the townโ€™s Wednesday Market in September 2016 following great success at its Scarborough base, which was established in 2010.

Selling quality guitars, amplifiers and accessories from world-leading brands including Fender, Taylor, CF Martin, PJD, Rickenbacker, Duesenberg, Eastman, Orange and Boss, the family-run business supports musicians in store, as well as selling globally online.

Now, Guitar Galleries Managing Director Matt Dunn is preparing to move the Beverley store to Flemingate where it will benefit from additional space to expand its offer to customers over two floors.

Matt, a guitarist who still performs regularly, said: โ€œThis is a really exciting time for the business. We are looking to expand and we want to offer more brands.

โ€œTo do that, we need a contemporary unit and space to present guitars properly, so people can walk in and play everything they aspire to own.

โ€œWe need somewhere that is not only impressive to look at but also functions how we want it to. There is so much more we need to display and, in the new unit, we can present and stock the guitars in the right climate, humidity and environment.

โ€œOver the last three years, Beverley has become considerably busier, especially Flemingate, which offers really good dining experiences and shops. Thereโ€™s a good mix of independent businesses and high street brands, and itโ€™s easily accessible with great parking.

โ€œWeโ€™re moving to a great-looking unit with enough space to offer even more to the community, such as guitar lessons.โ€

Guitar Galleries provides guitars and instruments to beginners and professionals alike, with prices ranging from ยฃ100 upwards.ย 

The business also buys guitars from its customers, offers trade-in deals against new guitars and offers credit facilities with 0% finance on purchases.

Guitar Galleriesโ€™ eight-strong team across the Beverley and Scarborough sites has 150 years of combined experience in the music industry and Matt said customer experience and care is at the heart of the business.

He said: โ€œWe want people to come in, have a look around, sit down and find the guitar thatโ€™s right for them.
