Meet Lauren Douglass
Lauren Douglass is the founder of Retail Alchemist and a passionate advocate for independent retail.
After years working across retail management, shopping centre operations and running an independent shop, Lauren realised that many small business founders are expected to build retail brands without ever being taught how the industry really works.
Through Retail Alchemist, she helps independent founders discover their niche, create unforgettable retail spaces and build commercially sustainable businesses that bring life back to the High Street.
Her work has been endorsed by the Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce, and she has spoken at MIB International events, sharing her belief that independent businesses are the talent pools of our communities and deserve the same strategic knowledge as large brands.
Community sits at the heart of everything she does. Lauren actively supports local initiatives and charities, creating free resources and opportunities that strengthen independent business communities.
Based in Somerset, Lauren balances building Retail Alchemist with running a family shop, raising her daughter Connie and pursuing her love of colour, creativity and beautiful retail spaces.
She believes the High Street is not dead — it has simply been forgotten — and that the next generation of independent founders will be the ones to reimagine it.
Fuelled by a determination to show her daughter that big dreams are possible, Lauren is driven by bold ideas and a belief that independent shops deserve to thrive, inspire and bring life back to our High Streets.
Through Retail Alchemist she is turning that vision into reality.
Are you ready to join her?
