With just over a week to go, the excitement is building as the new Booths store in Garstang is almost complete.
Booths opened its first shop in Garstang in 1975 and 34 years later, on Thursday 24th September at 10am, the regional retailer will open its doors in a new location on Cherestanc Square.
One of the major changes at the new store will be the increase in the range of products, which will mean that customers can now do their full weekly shop in Garstang.
As well as fresh meat and fish counters, deli and hot food counter, the store will also see the launch of a Neal’s Yard cheese counter. The counter will be integral to the main cheese counter in store, but will feature a range of unpasteurised and pasteurised cheeses from Neal’s Yard in London. The counter will be the company’s third in conjunction with Neal’s Yard, after the success of the first one at its Artisan Restaurant in Kendal.
Situated within the meat counter, there will also be a section for National Trust Beef. A new initiative in which Booths and the National Trust have been working together to provide a slower matured beef, from National Trust tenant farms, which is 21 days dry aged on the bone.
To get ready for the new store opening, the old store on Park Hill Road will close at 5.00pm on Saturday 19 September, 2009.
