Shoppers in Mansfield are set to benefit when a host of fashions brands become available at the Tesco Extra store on Jubilee Way South.

To celebrate, the store isholding a special relaunch event on Monday, 13th March at 10am, when a cheque for £1,000 will be presented to Woodside Farm Stables Riding for the Disabled.

The winner of a drawing competition that has been run by the store with local schools will also be announced.

Primary school pupils in the area were asked to design a poster depicting healthy eating. The winning school will receive a Junior Chef Academy workshop and the winning pupil a £25 gift card.

Thousands of hessian bags with the special design will be given away to customers along with champagne, orange juice and celebration cake.

Work to improve the shopper experience at the store includes the addition of High Street clothing brands Burton, Evans, Dorothy Perkins, Claire’s Accessories, Miss Selfridge and Wallis following a partnership between Tesco and the Arcadia Group.

Tesco Extra store manager Mark Taylor said: “We are constantly looking at ways to enhance the customer experience and the addition of these popular fashions brands and other improvements are ones which I am sure people will be excited about.

“We are really looking forward to the re-launch event and showing customers the changes that we have made in the store. We would like to thank all our customers for their patience during the building work.

“We are also looking forward to welcoming representatives from Woodside Farm Stables Riding for the Disabled together with teachers and pupils from the drawing competition winning school.”

Four winners will receive a personal shopping experience with £100 to spend in the new departments, a professional make-up artist, brunch in the café and a limo to take them to and from the store.
