A bigger New Look store has opened at Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre.

Customers queued up to watch shop manager Stacey Turner cut the ribbon to officially open the store, which is double the size of the centre’s old branch.

It has taken over part of a new development at the centre which also features a TK Maxx store which opened earlier this month.

The development replaced the old food court and management offices.

Su Button, centre marketing manager said, “Customers told us they couldn’t wait to be one of the first inside the new store and were peering inside to see the new autumn/winter collection.

"The tills were busy straightaway with people snapping up the latest essentials from coats to knitwear and going out must-haves.

“The new, larger New Look includes a denim section, larger footwear section and six spacious changing rooms.”

The first 50 customers who spent more than £25 received a free goody bag.
