This is ~~Rick~~the Baltic Food shop. From the shop's ~~Café~~Facebook page in 2017: "we sell Lithuanian, ~~which along with G&D's opens from early morning to late into the evening~~Russian, Latvian, and ~~and is a popular spot with students and locals~~other Eastern European products that you will not find in any other supermarket."

== 2001 - 2004 ==

In 2002 the Russian Fairytale delicatessen opened here. Thomsons Directory 2001 to 2004 No 88. See Isolarion by James Attlee "Cosmonauts and Coleslaw".<ref>see dailyinfo.co.uk/reviews/shop/russian.htm

~~== 1980s - 2000s ==~~

This was the Futon shop, established 1989 <ref>https://citikey.uk/display/better-made-futon-Q00NF</ref>. A photo of the shop after it closed can be seen here:  [https://flic.kr/p/gqQmZP https://flic.kr/p/gqQmZP]

~~Futons Better made last appeared at No 90 in Thomsons Directory 2004.~~

A photo of these premises "from June 1999" shows that it was once the Trident Discount Centre, along with Nos 88 and 86. This bargain shop caused controversy by opening on Sundays. However Thomsons Directory 1984 has Trident Superstore at No 86, while Thomsons Directory 1995 has Futons Better Made Stylish Unique Furniture at No 90 so the correct date of the photo is probably 1980s.<ref>Marilyn Yurdan, The Changing Faces of the Cowley Road</ref>
