This is exactly when Gloucester's brand new Next opens - and the first 20 customers will get a free gift card

Gloucester's brand new Next megastore is days away from opening.

The huge new shop, in Gloucester Retail Park (formerly the Peel Centre) off St Ann Way, is almost complete and shoppers will be able to get their first look inside from 10am on March 26.

It will also be home to a Paperchase concession and in-store Costa - and Next are adding an extra incentive for anyone planning to get there early.

The first 20 people through the doors will be given a free gift card worth between £5 and £100 to spend.

Store manager Claire Turner said: “I look forward to welcoming new and current customers to our exciting beautiful new store at the Gloucester Retail Park housing ladies, mens, kids and home and introducing partners Costa and Paperchase.”

The retail park's development manager Leah Taylor added: “We’re pleased to welcome Next’s brand new 'dual-format' store to Gloucester Retail Park, which is the first of its kind in the South West of England.

"This is a significantly high profile building for the city, attracting more shoppers to Gloucester.

"The new store forms part of our £14million investment into Gloucester Retail Park and in the city’s regeneration as a whole.”
