So, what’s it all about?
The EGO® stands for “Economic Growth Opportunity”,
and that’s exactly what we hope to be for Aberystwyth.
The magazine has been created to give exposure
to everything and everyone in Aberystwyth by
introducing and reintroducing the people, businesses
and organisations of the town to one another. We also
aim to encourage people from outside Aberystwyth
to visit the jewel in the Cardigan Bay crown. All this
is done in a manner geared towards kick-starting 8 Market Street, Aberystwyth SY23 1DL • 01970 358 591
local economic growth. For example, each month we Beautiful fabrics, haberdashery
include a selection of EGO Tokens that will give you
access to a range of offers in local businesses and & lots more
organisations. We hope that our content will speak
for itself and that our ethos will resonate with a lot of
people in Aberystwyth. So, grab a cuppa and a biscuit
(purchased in one of the town’s fine shops of course!)
and let The EGO® introduce or reintroduce you to all
that’s best about Aberystwyth.
