Louth's centre isn't large, but has some charming shops on offer. Most of the larger chains e.g. WHSmiths, HMV, M&S have stayed out of Louth, and the shops are still mostly local, independently run outfits.
Spencer's
Is a bookseller's, stationer's and newsagent. it also sells a variety of cards and gifts.
CoJo's
(http://www.cojos.co.uk/) is a sports shop, selling sporting clothing and equipment. the shop sign also, rather confusingly, claims it sells 'pop accessories' as well
Eve and Ranshaw
Proudly states it has been open 'under 9 reigns' on a sign by the door, and it is respected as such. a large department store, it is renowned for its homewares, and is where many people in the area buy their tablecloths, generally 'for best' its history means it can charge a little extra. sells everything else expected in an english department store, with a rather more refined style than, say, binns or debenhams.
Dragonfly
Is four shops - the original, dragonfly gifts, dragonfly 2 and dragonfly kitchen. all good for a special gift or home accessory - a great range of unusual items.
For Your Walls
Sells original art and prints as well as offering an excellent framing service. gift items are also available. don't forget to take a dog treat for the boys!
