Leith Shop Idol Winners announced

Posted on DateFebruary 19, 2012 by AuthorAlly

The City of Edinburgh Council have announced the winners of the Leith Shop Idol competition this week. More than 1000 people took part in the public vote, which was combined with the scores awarded by an expert judging panel to determine the ultimate winners. 

The winner of the £3000 first prize was the M1 Sandwich Shop on Easter Road, who won with their entirely edible Valentines Day themed window. Not bad for a shop that's only been open for two months! 

Coming in a close second was Flux on Bernard Street who created a beautiful rose-themed display of gifts and furniture.

In third place was The Doo'cot St Columba's Hospice on Leith Walk, which was one of the public's favourite in the vote on Facebook.

In total 35 businesses entered the competition. You can see all the photos on the I Love Leith Facebook Page.
