Bradley Stoke's Willow Brook to get eight new shops

Eight new shops are set to open in Bradley Stoke's Willow Brook shopping centre.

The first part of the shopping centre opened in October last year and is proving popular with local residents.

Now Timpson, the shoe repair and key cutting chain, Taylors estate agents and Ladbrokes bookies will all open branches this month.

The centre is also in the final stages of negotiation with five other retailers.

Timpson will be offering shoe repairs, key cutting, watch and jewellery repairs and engraving, as well as a dry cleaning and laundry service.

The Bradley Stoke Dental Practice will also be opening its doors soon. It is on the first floor in the mall and opens next Monday May 18.

Stores which opened last October include Tesco Extra, Carphone Warehouse, Reflections, O2, Shoe Zone, Nationwide, Costa Coffee, KFC, Subway, and Greggs as well as Explore Learning and Curves.

Centre manager, Scott Lahive, said: "We are delighted with the new signings. The centre has had great success since the opening in October, and I am sure this is going to continue.

"In this current climate it proves the appeal of Bradley Stoke and the great mix of shops and services for our customers."

"Willow Brook is not only providing the residents of Bradley Stoke and beyond with a town centre where they can do all of their shopping, but it's also providing a place to socialise."
