H T Burt, Mary Queen of Shops

H T Burt menswear shop on Wilbraham Road, Chorlton-cum-Hardy will be appearing on BBC2's new series of Mary Queen of Shops on Monday 23rd June 2008.

Watch how H T Burt, first established in 1895, certainly the oldest shop in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, is transformed under the expert guidance of retail guru Mary Portas.

Now selling Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Aquascutum, Hackett, Crew Clothing, Loakes, Sunspel, John Smedley etc., H T Burt is set to compete with the 'Big Boys' of retailing, offering expert advice and service.

Good show, wonderful revamp - but the htburt.co.uk website is broken (at 22:00BST 23-Jun-2008).

I saw your shop on 'Mary Queen of Shops' What a transformation. It was brilliant. I hope you are there in another 200 years

We think Gordon is a hero!

Just seen the programme and the shop looks the kind of place I need to visit. I popped over to the website and can't find the address anywhere on it.

You built it, but we need to know where to come......

Excellent programme - Adrian what a'new man' hero. There will be knickers thrown at your shop window tomorrow. Eileen - looking good & Gordon needs his own show!We also thought Mike was a real Trojan!
If you could just weed out some of the older looking customers in light brown jackets and glasses you'd be there!

What a great show, really impressed with what you achieved - i am in Sales so i could see how far out the comfort zone you all were, but you all stuck in and got the results. I thought the '20 essentials' is a great idea and when i'm next in Manchester i'll be visiting the shop

Having seen your shop and web site I don't see anything that I can't get in any other shop. Certainly it lacks the style of the more sophisticated shops in central Manchester and any other large city for that matter.

Saw the show on TV (in Australia) and just wanted to say I think you guys did a great job converting your store and I hope you are really successful!
