Our Journey

Our journey began in 2010 when owner, Nicholas Blanch, wanted to give back to his childhood town by providing a service to fill the gap of products that the town didn’t already have. This led to the opening of NB Inspirations that consisted of Clothing, Footwear, Manchester, Kitchenware and Appliances.

In 2012 it was evident that this service needed to extend to include toys to cater for the younger people in the community. The first year of NB Inspirations Toyland Santa even stopped by to deliver toys to every child in town. Recently, NB Inspirations had a make over and is now rebranded as NB Department Store. This brings a new meaning to department store with 4 unique encompassing departments.

NB Department Store has gone from a single persons dream to a large family operation. NB Department store now operates as one of the largest retail employers in the Proston area, bringing much needed employment opportunities to the residents of Proston Village.
