GAME store returning to Shrewsbury
Games retailer GAME is returning to Shrewsbury less than six months after it quit the town.
It follows news yesterday that JD Sports will take over Monsoon store after the fashion brand closed its doors for the final time in the Darwin Centre.
GAME closed its outlet in the Maplin store on Shoplatch less than six months ago, but the company has decided to reopen in the town just down the road.
The new Shrewsbury GAME store manager Rob Walker said: “It’s unbelievable to be back and a part of this amazing community. Myself and the staff would like to thank everyone who has made our return possible.
“The focus was to always return to the strong and passionate community in Shrewsbury. We’re all very excited about returning to this town and we aim to do the community proud with the products and services we offer.”
The new store will open for the first time at 9am on Friday and there will be goodie bags for the first customers through the door.
JD Sports will open in the former Monsoon store in time for Christmas.
