Mary Queen of Shops is a British television series presented by Mary Portas broadcast on BBC2. The series began with a four week run in Spring 2007, and returned for a second series of five episodes beginning on 9 June 2008.

In each episode, Mary Portas troubleshoots her way around the UK on a mission to help turn around struggling fashion boutiques. Mary is a leading retail communications expert and is the founder and creative director of Yellowdoor.

Her aim is to turn the businesses around and put the glamour and sex appeal back into shopping.

First, she visits the boutiques while the owners are away. Then she revamps them, gets the shop owners right up-to-date and hopefully helps them to start making money again.
