Customers Enjoy Festive Fun at Leekes’ First Birthday Celebrations

PRESS RELEASE – 28th November 2011

More than 1,800 people attended the first birthday celebrations of the Leekes home department store at Great Bridge Road, Bilston over the weekend of 26th and 27th November. A host of Christmas family activities was put on over the two days with store staff entering in to the spirit by dressing up in fancy dress to serve complimentary mince pies and mulled wine as customers arrived.

Children enjoyed face painting and balloon modelling as well as the chance to visit Santa in his grotto. On Sunday 27th the store welcomed some real reindeer complete with a sleigh and elves and a hog roast was enjoyed by customers outside the store.

Tony Squires, Store Manager commented, "The weekend was a great success and everybody including our customers and staff had a great time. We were delighted to see so many of our existing customers back at the store to help us celebrate our first birthday, but it was also great to welcome so many people who were visiting us for the first time and to show them what we offer. I was proud to hear so many positive comments about the store and to hear people say that they would definitely be back to visit us again."
