Cotton Traders and Leicester Tigers have opened the UK’s first-ever high street rugby club store.
Cotton Traders founders Fran Cotton and Steve Smith and 90 guests officially opened the 1,900 square foot outlet in Leicester, which represents a £150,000 investment for Cotton Traders and will stock a range of merchandise from both brands. The management and day-to-day operation of the store will be the responsibility of Cotton Traders.
Says Nick Hamblin, Retail Director at Cotton Traders: “Big news in retail and rugby worlds – this store is a first in the UK. Our shared rugby history gives us the foundations for a perfect partnership – Tigers fans are some of Cotton Traders biggest customers and vice versa.”
