Customers were welcomed into Hobbycraft's first store in Medway this morning for its long-awaited opening. The UK's largest arts and craft retailer has moved into the old Carpetright unit at Strood Retail Park, creating 18 new jobs. A grand opening event is taking place this Saturday (9 October) from 9am, with special offers and activities, including free goody bags to the first 100 customers. Hobbycraft's latest branch is stocked with a wide range of products and has a dedicated Custom Crafting area. This is a space that introduces the digital personalisation tool Cricut to customers for their own creative projects, as well as allowing customers to try out products and crafting techniques. At the centre of the store there is also an area that will host regular workshops and creative activities, which customers can book to attend through the Hobbycraft website. Boots was set to open a large store in the former Carpetright, which closed in 2018, although this never materialised and Hobbycraft took on the empty unit instead.
The retailer announced the news of its new Medway branch in April this year, and later revealed a revised opening date after it was initially planned to open in the summer. The store is open Monday to Friday 9am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 7pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm. For more information about the new Medway store visit the Hobbycraft website or follow @Hobbycraft_RCR on Twitter. Comments are closed.
