GO Outdoors has opened its first store in Reading.
The opening not only marks the first GO Outdoors store in Reading, but also the opening of the 62nd store nationally.
To celebrate, GO Outdoors Reading will host an opening event, featuring Ross Kemp, starting at 9am on Saturday, March 17.
Commenting on the store launch, general manager Jim Langley, said: “We are very excited to be opening GO Outdoors in Reading. Reading is one of the best towns in the UK to enjoy the outdoors and we’re so pleased to be the area’s largest supplier of outdoor gear those looking for fun and adventure need.”
The brand new outlet in Reading will offer customers an impressive 36,000 sq ft of retail space. Customers will be able to browse thousands of products including an extensive range of tents and equipment available in a dedicated camping department and tent field.
The expansive 5,000 sq ft outdoor field will display tents from top brands including Airgo, Vango and OEX. The store will also house key new ranges for SS18 from GO Outdoors’ own brands, Hi Gear, North Ridge and Freedom Trail, as well as thousands more products from over 250 brands including RAB, Regatta and Berghaus.
In addition to this, GO Outdoors Reading will feature a specialist cycling department, stocking an incredible range of bikes, cycling clothes and accessories from brands such as the award-winning Calibre, Raleigh and Kona. With expertly-trained staff and mechanics on hand to provide the best advice, GO Cycling offers a bike repair service and a free six-week safety check with every bike purchase.
Each well-considered detail of the store design is part of a £1.25million investment in the new development. With all products at discount prices, GO Outdoors continues to inspire everyone in Britain to get outdoors for less.
As part of the new store and investment in Reading, GO Outdoors is pleased to announce that it has helped to increase employment rates in the area by creating 40 new jobs in store.
