Our Future Business Magnates Team has visited Beamish Museum to explore this years competition theme, 'Reimagining the high street'.

The group did some market research in the shops in the 1900’s and 1950’s sections of the museum to find out which products sold the best and what attracted customers to the shops in these decades. They also considered what attracts tourists to them today and got the opportunity to look at some vintage products and see how they have evolved into the products we know and love today.

Finally, they looked at a variety of products that Beamish sell currently to tourists, from gifts and souvenirs to food, and learned which items are the best sellers and why that might be.
