New Store Opening
Angling Direct plc (AIM: ANG.L), the UK's largest and fastest
growing fishing tackle and equipment retailer, is pleased to
announce that it opened a new store in Warrington, Greater
Cheshire, on Wednesday 12 February 2020. The latest store opening
brings the total number of Angling Direct stores across the UK to
35 and further strengthens Angling Direct's presence across the
UK.
The new 4,500 sq. ft store is located on Cockhedge Shopping
Park, a ten-minute drive from Junction 9 on the M62, Junction 21 on
the M6 and Junction 10 on the M56. The Centre offers the largest
car park in the town centre, with up to 620 spaces available. The
store has been completely renovated throughout to provide the
expected high level of experience for Angling Direct's customers,
including a full-size Pole Alley to provide customers with the
opportunity to "try before they buy."
The store is ideally situated within a highly populated and
enthusiastic angling community and is surrounded by lakes and other
river venues such as the River Mersey and Weaver. As with all
Angling Direct stores, it caters for a wide range of angling
disciplines, whilst also providing excellent service from local and
knowledgeable staff. The new store is creating three full-time
positions and two part-time positions.
Angling Direct's Chief Executive Officer, Andy Torrance,
commented:
"We are very excited to have broadened our reach into the North
of England with the opening of our latest store in Warrington, a
thriving local angling community. We look forward to providing the
local anglers with a modern retail experience and products for all
disciplines.
"The store opening supports the Group's strategy to roll out new
stores across the UK to service popular fishing destinations and
angling communities. At the same time, we continue to enhance our
e-commerce offering in terms of products, experience and education
in order to help raise the profile of angling."
