One Stop for Convenience in Ashford
Shopping got a little more convenient for local residents, with the opening of a new store Thursday 14th July, which created ten new jobs.
The new One Stop store, on George Williams Way, opened its doors with the promise of being ‘the best for customers in the neighbourhood’, with a celebratory launch day on Saturday 16th July.
Conk the Clown was on hand to entertain the store’s customers and staff, with balloon modelling, juggling and pocket magic, whilst local firm, Ashford Balloons brightened up the day, supplying four colourful balloon columns to adorn the storefront.
Christopher Longfield was also delighted to receive a donation of £200, on behalf of the Kent Air Ambulance Trust, from the store’s manager, Claire Flynn.
The One Stop store, which was previously a Londis store, will trade seven days a week, and is open from 6am till 11pm. Facilities on offer for customers include a free-to-use cash machine, E Top-Up, National Lottery and PayPoint.
Claire Flynn, Store Manager said:
“We’re delighted to have opened the store. Our long opening hours, coupled with fantastic daily offers will ensure we have something for everyone.”
“The One Stop chain offers great value and great customer service and I am confident my team and I will be able to bring that and more to local people”, she added.
The One Stop store chain has an enviable retail record and operates stores across England and Wales – many of which serve the needs of small urban communities. The chain employs more than 7000 people across its operations.
