Town's Mayor to Open New Alworths Shop in Tiverton

THE COUNTDOWN continues for the new Alworths store opening in Tiverton next week.

At 10am on 25th August alworths, the general retailer that sells

everything from branded toys to haberdashery, will open in Tiverton.  The

store will be opened by the Town Mayor, Cllr Lester Crocker, and alworths MD,

Andy Latham.

Alworths, situated in the former Woolworths premises at 18 Fore Street, will be a local

variety store with a great range of products at value for money prices. 

It will stock a large choice of pic ‘n’ mix and other sweets,

branded toys, entertainment products, homeware and garden items, together with

stationery, party accessories, cards and wrap, haberdashery and household

convenience purchases.

A team of 10 staff have

already been employed at the new store, under the leadership of Trading Manager

Emma Herrett and Area Manager Adam Hibberd.  Emma and Adam are

ex-Woolworths colleagues who previously worked together at the Tiverton

store.  Adam was managing the store when the chain closed in January

2009.  He says: “I have a

real soft spot for Tiverton and it’s a fantastic feeling to be back.  I’m looking forward to seeing

lots of the old customers again and establishing alworths in the community.”

The opening day promises to be plenty of fun with music,

balloons and free promotional cups of pic ‘n’ mix for the first 200

customers through the door.

Latham

says: “We are really excited about opening in Tiverton next week. 

There will be lots going on in-store and we look forward to welcoming as many

local residents as can join us.”
