Bluebeards stockist crowned UK’s youngest shopkeeper
A Devon-based Bluebeards Revenge stockist is celebrating this week after being crowned the UK’s youngest shopkeeper.
Lucie Balchin, 17, opened The Crazy Cow gift shop in Modbury on October 1 last year – only 10 days after her 17th birthday.
Days after opening her shop she decided the local male population needed a ‘manly’ grooming range so she put her first Bluebeards order in.
Lucie Balchin is a proud stockist of The Bluebeards Revenge
When we learnt of Lucie’s tender age, we carried out research to determine if Lucie was in fact Britain’ youngest shop owner.
And now the British Independent Retailers Consortium has confirmed that Lucie is now the proud owner of the coveted title.
The record was previously held by Young Apprentice star Zoe Plummer, who established a fashion and clothing business before turning eighteen last October.
Lucie has gone on to become something of a media sensation, with the Daily Mail and The Sun newspapers covering the story.
The former Kingsbridge Community College student has also given an interview to BBC Radio 5 Live and will grace the One Show this evening.
And all before her 18th Birthday….

Executive Shaving is a proud stockist of The Bluebeards Revenge
Sales Director Brian Mulreany tells us: “We have a growing number of buyers visiting our warehouse for shaving items. Many of these people would ask why we didn’t have a retail presence. The problem we had is that Glasgow has the highest retail rent and rates costs outside of central London.
