New jobs as outdoor retailer opens doors in Shrewsbury

It has opened at Percy Thrower's Garden Centre in Oteley Road.

Mountain Warehouse is the largest outdoor retailer in the UK with more than 180 stores nationwide.

Simon Priest, area manager, said: "The new Percy Thrower's store is part of a brand new garden centre which has been purpose-built by the Wyevale group in a prime location in Shrewsbury.

"There is a great deal of focus from Wyevale on this garden centre as it is very much a new concept for them.

"There will be further development taking place in and around the surrounding area where the garden centre is."

He added: "We are pleased to be part of their new venture and will be working hard to be successful; our store will be one of the concept stores with new style fixtures, fittings and easily identifiable departments."
