Retail giant set to open store

Ayrshire’s second Range superstore is on the brink of opening its doors.

The new Ayr shop will be based at Heathfield Retail Park and is gearing up to open this Friday at 9am.

And the retail boost to the town has created 80 full-time and part-time jobs in the local area.

Ayr’s Range store is the 15th branch to open in Scotland and joins other nearby stores in Kilmarnock and East Kilbride.

The shop-fit and merchandising teams are working around the clock to get the store ready for the big reveal.

Painting, sign hanging, stock unloading and till training have been just a fraction of the happenings at the new site to prepare for customers, new and old, to enjoy their newest store from Friday.

Shop chiefs say the new branch in Ayr will provide a wide selection of products across 16 departments from home decor and arts and crafts to DIY and petcare products.

The store even boasts a large outdoor garden centre which will be packed full of plants, paving, fencing, water features and more to make any garden space look fantastic.

There will also be exclusive offers running in-store until August 15.
