THE MAGIC OF DISNEY ARRIVES IN EXETER

Date: 20 Jul 2009

Family favourite and global brand Disney has officially signed to open a new store in Exeter’s Princesshay shopping quarter.

World renowned for family entertainment and iconic characters including Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear and more recently High School Musical, the Disney store will open its doors on Thursday 9th July and is sure to be a hit!

The first Disney store opened in California over 20 years ago and there are now 56 stores in the UK. The magical new store will trade from the former Barratt’s unit, just off Blue Boy Square on Eastgate.

Wayne Pearce, Princesshay Centre Director said, “Disney is the world leader in family entertainment and it’s fantastic that they’ll now have a real presence in the city with a standalone store in Princesshay. We continue to have interest in all of our available units and I hope it won’t be too long before we can officially announce our next signing!”

Disney, the latest new name to arrive in the city will sell a range of merchandise including clothing, toys, videos, DVDs, stationary, gifts, costumes, books and much more!

John Harvey, Exeter City Centre Manager said, “Princesshay continues to attract high quality retailers and restaurants, with this latest prestigious signing sending out a message of encouragement to the retail community and shoppers.”
