ANOTHER retail addition is set to open its doors at Festival Place this week.

Mountain Warehouse is due to open Thursday at 10am, making it the third new brand the centre has attracted to the town in the past four weeks.

Mountain Warehouse will open a new shop at the St John’s Square entrance, adjacent to New Look and Pret A Manager, offering its range of outdoor gear.

The brand will be offering an opening promotional deal of 10% off, valid for one month, to its first 2,000 customers.

Neil Churchill, centre director at Festival Place, said: “We’re delighted to announce the opening of Mountain Warehouse at Festival Place. It’s great to see more new brands coming to Basingstoke and recognising the effect of the ongoing transformation of the centre.

"The new opening and the recently announced Jack Wills and Côte Brasserie reflect the quality of the aspirational brands we are increasingly attracting. We know these high-quality brands will appeal to our existing customers and will continue to attract visitors from the wider Hampshire area too.”

In the last two years, almost 30 new brands have opened at Festival Place.
