Hayley noted the positive reception from shoppers, sharing, “The response to the clothes this afternoon has been great. People are really pleased to see that we stock a variety of styles that cater to all shapes and sizes; no one has left here without picking up something.”
The launch event also included participation from local businesses, such as MNB Creative and Rishi’s Café, which played a significant role in supporting Lynch and Lichter as they set up their business. Rishi, the owner of the café, shared his support for the brand, stating, “I have come today to support Sarah and Hayley with their business; they’re two hard-working people who have focused on making their business the best it can be. It’s great to see local businesses setting up in Westhoughton.”

It’s extremely emotional but we’re so proud of how far we’ve come. The day we move into The Tan Bank will mark our five-year anniversary doing this. We’re so excited to keep on with this journey and give it our all.”
With the successful launch of their new store location, Rebellious Rose is poised for continued growth, maintaining its operational presence at both the new site and their original Westhoughton address.
