Specialist wine retailer has opened its latest store in Newark-on-Trent as part of its accelerated brick-and-mortar expansion.
This opening marks the second new store opening for the wine retailer for the 2023/24 financial year and its 205th store in the UK.
Majestic has plans to expand its in-person shopping presence at a rate of one new shop per month, with new sites due in Crouch End, Monmouth and Chippenham due to open before Christmas.
The store, which takes up 2,900 sq ft in the Maltings Retail Park, stocks the full range of over 1,200 wines, beers, spirits, low and no alcohol beverages, soft drinks and snacks.
The retailer’s colleagues will host free wine tastings every day from the store’s tasting counter, offering customers the opportunity to try a selection of wines before they buy, receive tasting notes and get expert advice.
Customers will also benefit from services including free glass hire for occasions such as weddings and birthday parties, free click-and-collect within as little as four hours, and next-day delivery, with the store’s own van delivering orders directly to customers’ homes.
John Colley, CEO of Majestic, said: “We have had our eyes on Newark for some time as part of our expansion plans and are delighted to finally be opening a store in the town. Everyone at Majestic is looking forward to serving the local community and bringing our award-winning wines and expert knowledge to the area.
“We continue to be champions of experiential retail and are proud to be accelerating our pipeline of new store openings ahead of Christmas. We are hugely excited about becoming a part of even more communities across the UK in the coming months.”
