Shopping: new stores at Cheshire Oaks

APPARENTLY CHESHIRE OAKS HAS JUST OPENED 12 NEW STORES. AND YET SOMEHOW WE’RE STILL AT OUR DESKS. WHICH FRANKLY DOESN’T SEEM RIGHT. SURELY NEWS OF THIS MAGNITUDE CALLS FOR A CHEEKY HALF-DAY OFF FOR SOME SERIOUS RETAIL THERAPY!

McArthurGlen Designer Outlets Cheshire Oaks has had a fantastic first six months of 2017 with 12 new store launches or expansions coming to the centre. And in a bid to pretend that we’re not completely shallow, and shopping obsessed, we’d like to note that this has created 75 new jobs for the community.

Kenny Murray, Centre Manager for Cheshire Oaks, commented:                  

We always strive to deliver the very best for both our customers and our local community and it is always an exciting day when we get to welcome a new brand; we are immensely proud to have started 2017 with such a great variety of brands coming into the centre and creating even more jobs in Cheshire.”
