THE Edinburgh Woollen Mill Group is investing in a new outlet at the Blackdown Garden Centre, West Buckland, bringing 12 new jobs to the area.
The new store will also feature Ponden Home Interiors and Peacocks.
To celebrate the opening of the Edinburgh Woollen Mill outlet on Thursday (September 15) at 9am, staff will greet the first 60 customers to make a purchase with a goody bag.
Customers will be able to choose from a goody bag made up of Edinburgh Woollen Mill, Ponden Home Interiors or Peacocks gifts.
The outlet will also mark its arrival in the area with an in-store competition, rewarding 60 lucky visitors with a prize. The first visitors to find envelopes hidden around the store will walk away with a voucher to spend in store.
Area manager Sue Martin said: “We’re delighted to open the new Edinburgh Woollen Mill outlet in Blackdown Garden Centre and can’t wait to welcome visitors in the area to the store.
“The three brands really complement each other, featuring fashion and accessories for all ages.
“The store will be a fantastic addition to the garden centre, providing customers with a one-stop-shop of clothing and homeware collections. The store opens just as our superb new autumn collections hit the shelves.
“Customers visiting the store on opening day will have the opportunity to celebrate with us by taking part in our competition while exploring the three new concessions.”
The new store will feature some of The Edinburgh Woollen Mill’s most sought after men’s and ladies wear including Country Rose, Isle, Honor Millburn, and One Valley, as well as a range of gifts and accessories.
The Ponden Home Interiors concession will include popular items such as a full bedding range showcasing its Egyptian cotton sheet collection, Ponden Home quilts, ever popular Hotel Firm Pillows, non-iron sheeting, mattress protectors, towels and ready-made curtains, as well as a selection of soft furnishings and a home style gifts range.
The Peacocks concession will stock a full range of clothing for the entire family with collections for men, ladies and children.
