Gap

Why buy from Gap?

Every pound spent at Gap stays in Derby. Independent shops recirculate up to £2.50 for every £1 spent, compared to about £1.40 at chains — more local jobs, more local suppliers, more community.

The county that gave the world Stilton cheese (well, it's complicated) and the Melton Mowbray pork pie. Leicestershire is a food county with protected-name products and a market town culture that still thrives.
