The Fort Shopping Park in Erdington has installed a beauty vending machine from Meggi Lashes, which has been drawing significant attention from shoppers. The machine offers a range of products including eyelash curlers, cluster kits, strip lashes, glue, brushes, liners, and face masks, catering to both natural and glamorous looks.
Brand Origins and Growth
Meggi Lashes was founded in 2020 by Meggie Morgan, a Dudley native who sought affordable, high-quality false eyelashes while living in Spain. Starting with a modest investment of just £300, the brand has expanded to over 50 vending machines across the UK, including locations at The Fort and Birmingham's Bullring. The brand boasts a following of more than one million on TikTok.
Positive Shopper Response
A spokesperson for The Fort commented: "The Meggi Lashes vending machine at The Fort is causing a stir. From natural everyday lashes to full on glam, plus beauty must-haves, there’s genuinely something for everyone. People have been going crazy for the products, and if you’re lucky… you might even find a few freebies hidden inside. Next time you’re at The Fort, don’t just walk past, go and see what all the hype is about."
Convenient Shopping Destination
The Fort Shopping Park offers an alternative to city centre shopping, avoiding traffic congestion and Clean Air Zone charges. Parking is free with ample spaces, and the location near junction six of the M6 motorway provides easy access for residents across the West Midlands region.
