Kendal
Situated to the South of the Lake District, six miles from junction 36 of the M6 motorway, and only a few miles from the sea, Kendal is especially well placed to cater for everyone’s holiday needs.
The town boasts a population of some 28000 (2001) is home to a fine selection of shopping arcades, can boast two castles, two museums, a host of historical buildings and bridges, fine restaurants, a multitude of public houses, excellent local schools, low crime rates, quality hotels and views that would please the most demanding photographer.
The town is fed by the A65 from North Yorkshire to the South, the A591 from Barrow and Ulverston to the North, the A684 from Sedbergh to the East, the A685 from Appleby to the North East, and the M6 motorway some 6 miles away to the South providing easy access to Penrith and Carlisle and then onto Scotland. Railway passengers can alight in Kendal from the Kendal to Windermere service, and can travel to the town from further a field by the West Coast main line from London Euston to Glasgow, getting off at Oxenholme, about two miles outside of the town.
Kendal has been purchased by High Street United!
Launching in 2009, we are a brand new company that hope to connect local communities back to their local shops by enabling a one-stop-shop for internet shopping that will enable independent retailers to sell online to their local communities in a way that makes sense to both the shops and the customers.We believe that people would prefer to shop locally and benefit from the great range of products that are on offer, but due to work commitments and time constraints it is not always possible. We believe that by offering local communities a convenient and affordable solution to this problem, the local community will benefit as a result!
Customers will be able to shop from all their favorite stores at one website, and pay a single delivery fee, regardless of how many shops in the area they visit. The goods will then be delivered the very next day!
We have chosen Kendal to launch our revolutionary way to shop online because the town and its surrounding areas has a wealth of fantastic independent stores that offer great local products at great value for money.
As well as offering a great online shopping experience to our customers, we are also proud of the environmentally friendly impacts that we will have; after all, one delivery van is far better that 50 car journeys a day!
