Retail Outlets
On the ground floor you will find a unique shopping mall which provide shoppers with a variety of arts and crafts, flowers, books and music, cards and gifts in keeping with our Fairtrade ethos.
In keeping with our Social Enterprise values we have assisted small businesses to set up and some of the businesses have been so successful they have started here and remained here, while others have moved here, needing space to expand.
The five retail outlets in The Crossing at St Paul's are:
- Khamro Nailbar - Beautiful nails, extensions, nail art and holistic therapy.
- Heaven Sent - Cards and gifts for that special occasion.
- A J Coles - Fabulous flowers for all occasions.
- Hogar - Gifts and jewellery from across the world.
- Wesley Owen - A Christian bookstore and so much more.

Khamro Holistic Therapy and Nailbar
 |
Phone: 01922 639207 Web site: www.freewebs.com/khamro E-mail: khamro@hotmail.com |
I am an Holistic Therapist, providing reflexology and Indian head massage. I also offer nail extensions, manicures, pedicures and nail art. We also offer training courses in nail extensions, manicures/pedicures and Reiki. In the shop I sell jewellery, perfume and handbags.
As a Christian being based in The Crossing has helped me as it feels like the most natural place to be. It allows me to include God in my business on a daily basis, with the hands on therapies which I do, and this helps my clients in a very positive way.

Our greeting card range is by Wishing Well, Jonny Javelin, Rachel Hale, Second Nature and Woodmansterne.

Being situated in The Crossing has helped our
business as there are many other events and functions being held in the building, which The Crossing organises. We find that some of
these people visit our store and become our customers.
The Crossing is very peaceful, calm and relaxing when you walk in which gives a lovely atmosphere for our customers who want to browse, or take time, to look for that special gift, some of which are based on religious occasions.
Along with the items mentioned above that we sell, being based in a Church, we also cater for "religious" theme gifts and occasions. These include items such as footprints plaques, crosses, angels, guardian angels, Easter and of course Christmas.

Hogar
 |
Phone: 01922 624299 E-mail: hogararts@tiscali.co.uk |
Hogar is
a gift and jewellery store. We sell fantasy lines (dragon and fairy figurines including those of Amy Brown), oils, incense,
a wide range of gem stones (birth and healing), hand made jewellery, ornaments, cards and body jewellery, cards and plaques by Nene Thomas,
cards and figurines by Jasmine Becket-Griffith and more! We now also sell the original designs of Emily Strange including her clothing line,
accessories, handbags, purses and jewellery. If you are looking for that unusual or unique gift then come and take a look in our shop.
The Crossing is a really good place to be both for the business and customers. It is a unique environment that provides a relaxed shopping atmosphere. There are many events taking place at The Crossing which attracts many different people into the shop. The uniqueness of the building itself brings people in, though it is surprising how many people still don't realise the building is more than a church, but it is an experience once seen never forgotten!
For those who may be asking what does 'Hogar' mean? Well, it means 'abode' in Spanish. The English have the saying 'Home Sweet Home', in Spain there is an equal saying which is 'Hogar dulce Hogar' and I brought a bit of home with me here to The Crossing!

Wesley Owen is a retail charity, specializing in the sale of Christian books, music, gifts, cards and recourses.
We aim to offer the most extensive list of goods possible, and can get most items at our main warehouse to you within 2-3 business days.
Part of the International Bible Society and STL (Recently merged to form Biblica) we exist to promote this important ministry on the high street. We are part of a chain of 40 stores in the UK, making us one of the largest Christian retailers in the UK.
In Walsall we have maintained a constant presence on the high street for over thirty years, both as an independent retailer, part of the Scripture Union Group, and, as part of Wesley Owen for almost half of that.
We moved into the Crossing @ St Pauls in Christmas 1995, and it has proved a perfect marriage ever since. We aim to echo on the ground floor the important work which goes on in the church, spreading the good news of Jesus, and equipping the church for his service.
