Twenty-five shops — from Creasey's department-store beauty hall (1899, fifth-generation family-owned) to Healthspan's online supplements business, sold to Orkla for £65m in 2022. Seventeen sit in St Peter Port; eight are limited companies. Specialist clusters pair up: two opticians, two wholefood pantries, two candle boutiques, two online retailers. —
Five shops — one 1899 department store anchor, two mid-2000s specialists, a Vale trade supplier, and Superdrug's June 2025 opening.
Five specialist retailers — Boardman's Pharmacy on Alderney (1926), Hansa Wholefoods (1971), and three founded since 2019.
Five opticians on the island — three in St Peter Port, plus the Specsavers group HQ managing stores across three continents.
Four shops — Boardman's (1926) anchors traditional perfumery on Alderney; three independent candle-makers hand-pour the rest.
Three St Peter Port firms — a psychiatrist-led prescribing clinic, a vaporiser retailer, and the Channel Islands' first consumption lounge.
