Scouse Bird Opens Another Shop In Merseyside

Steph Bannister, aka, Scouse Bird Problems, who is a regionally renowned blogger and media personality, has opened up her own shop in Crosby Village called The Scouse Bird Shop.

The Liverpudlian influencer has made her start as an anonymous social media blogger and took the Mersey by storm, becoming an overnight sensation with her hilarious, relatable posts about life as a “scouse bird”.

The Scouse Bird Shop is located in Telegraph House and wills tock a full range of Scouse Bird merchandise, including her famous diaries, scouse mugs and loads of quirky, innovative gifts from other local entrepreneurs.

This is Steph’s second shop, with the first located in Aintree. Not only that, but she opened a beauty salon last year, which will be moving to Crosby in the near future and will be located next door but one to the shop.

Steph said:

“I’m so excited to be moving to Crosby. I’ve been running this business for nearly seven years now but only opened up a physical location about 18 months ago.

“It’s been like starting all over again to be honest, there’s so much I’ve had to learn but now I can take what I know and make this shop even better. It’s the same with the salon, I had no experience in that field, just an idea that I had to run with and learn from.

“It’s one of my new year’s goals to throw myself into the local community and make it better. I hope this will be the first step. There’s a totally different vibe here in Crosby than in some other parts of Liverpool, it’s really friendly, welcoming and supportive and I want to inject my own brand of fun and energy here.

“I’m very proud of how far I’ve come and I feel that this second opening is the next step in taking my business to a whole different level. I like to try and represent the everyday Scouse woman and I feel like I’m living proof that if you work hard, you can achieve anything!”

Andrew Day, the Asset Manager for St. Mowden, the expert developer and regeneration specialist who let Steph the space said:

“Steph and her Scouse Bird brand will be a fantastic addition to Crosby village, and we’re delighted to be supporting this young, local entrepreneur. Liverpudlians have a soft spot for Scouse Bird Problems to say the least, and so we’re confident that she will thrive in her new home.

“St. Modwen has invested significantly into the village, and it is evident that the regeneration of Crosby is resonating with businesses; as well as Scouse Bird, last year we welcomed Frankie’s, The Blues Bar, Village Vets, Peacocks, Hallmark, Costa Coffee and more.

“We’re thrilled with the success of the scheme and are looking forward to continuing its development throughout 2019.”
