Cosmic Jo’s Galactic Trading Outpost, located in the former home of Griffin Sweets on Bedford Street in Norwich, is a unique shop and café run by Jonathan Storey and Bradley Brady. The pair, originally from Great Yarmouth, have returned to the UK after working in Los Angeles for many years. Mr. Storey, who previously created merchandise for Disney, has now brought his own concept to life in Norwich with the opening of Cosmic Jo’s Galactic Trading Outpost. The shop and café offers a one-of-a-kind experience and is a rare find in Norfolk.
The shop caters to sci-fi and fantasy fans of all ages with a wide range of items available for purchase, ranging in price from £4 to £400.
