AN INDEPENDENT womenswear shop in Evesham has expanded to an out-of-town retail park.
Reid’s Boutique, owned by Anna Wielgatt, opened a second store at The Valley at Twyford on February 13.
The move aims to introduce The Valley’s 1.5million visitors to the stylish fashion brand curated by the Polish-born business woman and signpost them toward the wider range available in the main store on High Street.
“Opening at The Valley is a really exciting moment for us.
“So many people may have not yet discovered Evesham town centre or our flagship store.
“This shop gives us the chance to meet new customers, showcase who we are, and invite them to experience everything our main shop has to offer.
“As a small business, we’re incredibly proud to fly the flag for Evesham and help strengthen the connection between these two fantastic destinations,” she said.
Anna arrived in the UK in 2007 and has run her town centre boutique for three years. Last year she was one of a number of Polish female entrepreneurs in Evesham who received a visit from the Polish embassy.
Phil Maclean, retail director at The Valley, added: “This expansion is about more than opening a second shop – it’s about building bridges.
“Independent businesses thrive when local destinations support each other, and this move allows us to create a stronger flow between The Valley and Evesham town centre.
“We want visitors to enjoy a great experience here and then feel inspired to explore further into town, discovering the independent retailers that make Evesham truly special.”
