In the News: Home of Hopcroft in the Spotlight

Celebrating Local Support and Media Features

Since opening our doors in December 2020, Home of Hopcroft has been incredibly grateful for the support from our customers, neighbours, and the wider community. As a small family-run business based on Kirkcaldy High Street, every bit of recognition means so much to us. We are proud to have been featured by several local media outlets and community pages since we first began.

Below are some of the lovely mentions and articles we have received over the years. These stories have helped spread the word about what we do and why we care so deeply about bringing thoughtful gifts and beautiful homeware to our local High Street and beyond.
