Scandals began in 2001 with a woman who believed adult retail could feel more open, welcoming and free from judgement. More than two decades later, that pioneering spirit remains at the heart of our independent business.

Today, our three Merseyside stores in Birkenhead, Bootle and Liverpool City Centre welcome people of every background and experience level. Whether you are visiting an adult shop for the first time, finding a thoughtful gift or exploring something familiar, our team is here with practical, discreet and genuinely personal service.

Independent by Choice. Inclusive by Nature.

We are proud winners of the FLOWERS LGBTQ+ Business of the Year 2024, Employer of the Year 2025 and Inclusive Employer of the Year 2026 awards. Scandals was also nominated for XBIZ XMA Europe Retailer of the Year (3–9 Stores) in both 2025 and 2026. Our commitment to people, an inclusive workplace and customer care is what these honours mean to us.
