Noel Leeming’s new Westwood store has opened its doors, with plenty of fanfare, deals and free coffee.
Warehouse Group Chief Executive Officer John Journee and Noel Leeming Chief Operations Officer Jason Bell cut the ribbon and announced the new store open in front of excited shoppers.
Store staff had been working hard to make the switch from their Blenheim town centre location, home to the shop for 49 years.
And although a slightly smaller store, clever design work means a bigger range, says Jason.
“This store is put a lot of work in terms of the store design - compared to the old store, it’s 17 per cent smaller with 10 per cent more range through the work that store design teams that have done in terms of the fit out.
“The team came down yesterday and spent time with the local staff to have a celebration last night, and it's fantastic to be able to open our latest and greatest new store in an absolutely prime position.”
The new building, built by Robinson Construction, was officially declared open last Wednesday in front of about 55 people waiting to make the most of the first day deals, free 100 coffees from Koffee Mobile, and More FM games and prize draws.
