The Front Parlour has been part of Sheffield's shopping scene for almost 40 years, and has always been family run.

The store is now run by Betty's daughter, Jane Grant, who buys everything she sells in the store from local people. They either bring things to her to buy over the counter, or she will go to their homes to buy items.
