Tobacco Direct is a family run Tobacconist with 140 years of great service.
Youings first opened its doors on November 6th, 1884. The first day’s takings on November 8th, 1884, were 10 shillings and 6 pence. The first week’s takings totalling 8 pounds and 8 shillings. The business eventually flourished, and a second shop was opened on at No.8 High St.
In 1933 Tobacco Direct acquired a large corner property just 30yrds away. A prestigious site addressed No.1 high street. A large storeroom was incorporated for the blooming wholesale business supplying pubs and corner shops.
Today’s proprietor is Peter, son of Basil Youings. Peter’s forefathers built the business from small beginnings offering the same service to all customers. Leveraging on both the tobacco wholesale business and retail shop, Tobacco Direct can offer the public quality tobacco products at the best price.
