A NEW 20,000sq.ft Matalan store has opened in Kendal.
In one of his last acts as Mayor of Kendal, Cllr Tom Clare cut the ribbon at the Queen Katherine Avenue outlet last Thursday.
Catering to the residents of Kendal, the new store provides everything under one roof including ladieswear, menswear, kidswear and homeware.
It will bring over 35 new jobs to the area.
Mike Jeans, retail director for Matalan, said: “We are thrilled to be expanding our business and opening up a store in Kendal. The new store will not only bring employment to the area but will also provide an easy and enjoyable shopping experience for customers, offering high quality, valuable and affordable products from fashion through to homeware which we have been doing for the last 30 years.”
