Comet store goes up in the world 

Grand re-opening in Swindon for electrial retailer

 

Family fun: shoppers enjoying the day at the new Comet store in Swindon

There was much more on offer than TVs, hi-fis and fridge-freezers at the Comet store in Swindon this weekend.

 

To celebrate the re-opening of their new two-storey 15,000 sq ft outlet at the Orbital shopping park, the electrical retailing giant provided entertainment including stilt walkers, clowns and face painting - as well as a number of special promotions.

 

"I'm very proud of the new store and all the team here," said store manager John Salisbury.

"We've had a great day and I'm delighted so many customers have made an effort to come here today. We've had nothing but praise for the new layout and the range of electrical goods on sale."
