Just in time for a bit of last-minute Christmas shopping for the devoted angler, Angling Direct PLC (LON:ANG) has opened a new store.
It is located in Swinton, Greater Manchester and brings the total number of Angling Direct stores across the UK to 34, ten of which have been opened this year.
The new store is a former fishing tackle outlet and has been completely renovated throughout to provide a much better experience for Angling Direct's customers, the company said.
The company added that the store is ideally situated within a popular fishing area, surrounded by lakes and other river venues such as the River Irwell, the Ribble, and the Bridgewater Canal. As with all Angling Direct stores, it caters for a wide range of angling disciplines.
"As we continue to cater for all angling disciplines throughout the UK with a new and modern approach towards fishing retail, we remain focused on strategically expanding our store footprint, as well as enhancing our online offering in terms of products, experience and education in order to help raise the profile of angling,” Darren Bailey, Angling Direct’s chief executive officer said in a statement.
