Our Story

lt took two decades and a unique opportunity for Liz Galloway to own her own independent store.

Drawing on her background in art and inspired by the idea of showcasing fashion, homeware and gifts under one roof, having returned to Broadstairs to raise her family, Liz took the leap and bought KIT Lifestyle.

Liz has further grown her business to open a sister-store. Just a short walk from KIT on Charlotte Street, is memento, located right by York Gate on Eldon Place.

At memento, we offer specialty takeaway coffee, childrenswear, beach essentials, and thoughtful gifts as a nod to Broadstairs' beauty and creativity. 

Not only does Liz sell top-quality brands, she stocks eco-friendly & sustainable products whenever possible too. 

Although her retail presence in town has grown, customer service remains at the heart of her business.

Thanks to word of mouth, exceptional customer service and a strong social media presence, KIT and memento have become a valuable addition to this seaside town.
