The new Argos store at Bradley Stoke’s Willow Brook Centre has opened today, a day earlier than planned.
Situated in the retail terrace, between Brantano and Peacocks, the store opened to the public this morning (Friday 25th).
The Manageress of the store explained to The Journal that, with all systems ready to go, they had decided to opt for a “soft start” from 10am.
She stressed that the store’s opening offer of free £10 vouchers to the first one hundred customers would be implemented as advertised from 9am tomorrow (Saturday 26th).
Other opening offers advertised in the Evening Post this week include:
- Free vouchers worth £10 when you spend £50
- Free vouchers worth £20 when you spend £100
The store has lined up a programme of entertainment to celebrate the official opening of its new store tomorrow (Saturday 26th) – including children’s face painting (from 10am to 4pm).
Local radio station Jack FM will be broadcasting live from the Willow Brook Centre between 12 noon and 3pm, offering a chance to win one of ten £25 Argos gift vouchers.
On Sunday (27th November), Peppa Pig will be putting in appearances at 11am, 12 noon, 1pm, 2:30pm and 3:30pm.

The new Argos store was forced to open early this morning after hundreds of people queuing for the free £10 vouchers obstructed roads at the Willow Brook Centre. Sorry, no photo – it was all over by the time our photographer got there at 8:55am!
I don’t believe it! Just for 10 quid!
What a shame! Article says peppa pig will visit on Saturday 26th. Turn up to be told she isn’t coming until Sunday!!!! Kids very disappointed! But oddly why isn’t she here for the opening???
Humble apologies from the Editor to all Peppa Pig fans. I didn’t read the flyer carefully enough. She’s there on Sunday at the times stated. Article now updated.
OMG, how sad are some people, queing just for a £10 voucher and blocking roads!
