24/05/06

Bracknell Regeneration Partnership (BRP) is pleased to welcome new stores to the town centre; Mobile phone retailer Orange is set to open on the ground floor of Princess Square, and specialist arts and crafts supplier Stamposaurus moves to a bigger store on Broadway.

Orange had been trying to get a unit in Bracknell, one of its target towns, for a number of years Tom Keys-Toyer, Retail Acquisitions Manager at Orange comments: “Some time ago we identified Bracknell as a key location. We look forward to opening our store in Princess Square where we will be well placed to benefit from the regeneration of the town centre.”

Arts and crafts supplier Stamposaurus is moving to a new larger store on Broadway, to offer their full range of stamps, paper crafting materials, soap making, jewellery making and gifts. Owner and Create & Craft TV Demonstrator, Jayne Harvey, is delighted with the new store, commenting: “It is such a lovely store, bright and airy, and the location is excellent. I’m increasing the range of products on offer in store, as well as demonstration crafting techniques and running workshops in a dedicated room. I will also be making rubber stamps in the shop.”

Clare Juniper comments, “Bracknell’s retail offer continues to go from strength to strength with many retailers keen to commit to the town centre, recognising how much Bracknell has to offer today. We continue to provide better choice for Bracknell’s shoppers and with new stores opening and existing retailers growing, we are already offering a vibrant town centre.”
