Description

LIV's core concept is to provide only the best organic, natural and healthy foods to all its customers to help them lead a longer, healthier life. The concept is set to be achieved by providing customers with a unique, artisan-style twist on the traditional basket shopping experience that they may be accustomed to with the big retail outlets. Unlike the big-chain supermarkets which lack a warm and welcoming atmosphere to loyal customers, LIV's ethos will be brought to life the second customers walk in the door; through its decor and vibe providing a unique and welcoming atmosphere that encompasses everything the brand stands for. With wooden shelves and hints of olive green colouring, LIV's decor resembles the natural environment in which many of its products are sourced from, however with a touch of sleek modernity that appeals to both general and corporate customers alike. The offering of healthy, organic and natural products at LIV will be extensive, from fresh fruit and vegetables to home and body care to promote a well-rounded good lifestyle. LIV buyers have extensively searched for the highest-quality foods from unique and innovative brands that are at the forefront of the pioneering healthy foods industry. LIV will also cater for those who follow a free-from diet; from the gluten free and dairy free diets to the popular vegan and vegetarian diets which are at the forefront of supporting both animal and environmental welfare. Customers can also enjoy an artisan bakery, where scents of the delicious breads flow in and out the store, enticing Bold Street regulars in to discover life at LIV. After shopping in the store, customers can enjoy a delicious bite to eat in LIV Eatery, a delightful lounge area with an exclusively-designed menu. The menu offers one of the healthiest and most natural breakfast and lunch options in Liverpool. To quench one's thirst, customers can enjoy the taste of health waters, smoothies and of course, the warm and welcoming aromas of herbal teas and organic coffees. LIV will truly be a unique destination for those seeking a healthier lifestyle in a cosmopolitan area. LIV is situated in Radiant House, the former home of The Liverpool Gas Company and a building that quite literally lit up Liverpool. LIV is situated on Bold Street, a street that pulsates a rich bohemian vibe, where a feeling of cultural modernity meets tangible history. Radiant House was once the home of The Liverpool Gas Company, a business that was at the forefront of modern ingenuity during the post-war era. With Liverpool benefiting from one of the lowest prices for gas in the country. It is an impressive building that dominates the street, with its art-deco design and bold roof that rises above the rest. Two golden eagles once adorned the interior of the building, one eagle with a proud and defiant stance, the other with a more bedraggled appearance. The eagles were an iconic part of the building, with such an impact that it was named after the way in which the golden edifices radiated a celestial-like light. On the ground floor, where LIV's food hall stands, was a showroom with elegant marble flooring and mighty pillars. Here, customers could purchase beautiful fireplaces and lighting fixtures. One of the company's policies was to introduce colour into the houses of local residents and therefore Radiant House was a place that could light up the homes of Liverpool. The building also boasted several showrooms, a reception lounge and theatres. In its lecture theatre, you could find Liverpudlian housewives discussing their household needs and school children visiting on educational trips to learn of the latest marvels in gas manufacturing. Not only at the forefront of customer service, but The Liverpool Gas Company also offered its many staff a great workplace with roof gardens, tea-rooms and dining suites. The staff kitchen, fitted with all of the company's modern appliances was accessible to the public. Radiant House was truly at the centre of pioneering innovation in Liverpool, well ahead of its time in engineering as it was in employee welfare and customer experience. "The past has gone, the future is before us with all its immense possibilities, and so we close the door on the past and enter a new era." Sir Christopher Clayton Chairman of The Liverpool Gas Company. ETHICS AND PHILANTHROPY DOING GOOD, BEING GOOD & LIVING GOOD At the heart of LIV is its strong and passionate ethos, which includes both ethical and philanthropic activities that benefit the local community. LIV is passionately proud of its Liverpool roots and endeavours to build a strong connection to its local community. This is part of the core elements that form the platform for LIV and one of its key aims is to take part in ethical and philanthropic activities on a regular basis. Recycling Protecting the environment is of utmost importance to the LIV brand and the team are partnering with Liverpool City Council's recycling department to make recycling cool. Plans include educating the public, students and local community on all the forms of recycling including the trendy 'upcycling' craze that sees end-of-life products such as wheelie bins being revived and renewed into something useable. The team behind LIV has ensured that "food-to-go" range will only use packaging from suppliers that share similar ethical beliefs to that of LIV. All of the 'Food-to-Go' packagings is either recyclable, biodegradable, compostable or reusable. There will also be no plastic bags used in the store, instead the team have chosen an innovative shopping bag that is made out of compostable PBAT and plant-based PLA, so that there is no damage to the environment when disposing of the bags. Charity Similarly, to its sister company, Healthy Foods Online, LIV will also ensure that philanthropic activities are a key part to its day-to-day running. Food donations to the local homeless charity, The Whitechapel Centre will continue, however, more frequently and with the introduction of fresh fruits, vegetables and dairy products. As Healthy Foods Online is a proud partner of the Liverpool-based Homeless Games, an initiative to help those who have experienced homelessness or social exclusion through sport and companionship. Staff at LIV will also be encouraged to get involved with the charities and initiatives through volunteering and promotion. The partnership signifies the importance of the health and wellbeing of the local community to the company and this has been included in the ethos of LIV as a strong value and core belief.
