Why Fancy That! Costumes & Balloons wins locally
Consistently high ratings (4.9★) backed by 743 reviews signal repeat demand. Likely the benchmark incumbent new entrants are measured against.
Lesson for new entrants: Niche or service-led retail (repairs, curated local makers, appointment-only) beats another generalist shelf.
Rank #1 among retail stores within ~1500m of St Leonards centre (Google Places cache, June 2026).
St Leonards context for a new retail store
