-

AN award-winning maternity wear and baby clothing retailer is opening a new store in Stroud.

Jojo Maman Bebe is opening the new 1,205 square foot venue in Stroud’s Five Valleys shopping centre in a prime retail unit fronting King Street.

The store is set to open in September and is recruiting for six new jobs.

Managing director and founder Laura Tenison said: “We are really excited about opening in Stroud as we know that local parents are in tune with our deep-seated values.”

She continued: “We look forward to assisting expectant mothers, new parents, grandparen­ts and baby gift buyers to find exactly what they need within a short distance of their homes.

“We hope to become embedded in the community, offering advice and

support to our customers from pregnancy to pre-school.”

Cheltenham’s Jojo Maman Bebe reopened underwent a complete refurbishm­ent earlier this year.

The store’s opening is the first major announceme­nt of a company moving to the town centre developmen­t since Yorkshire-based Dransfield Properties Ltd embarked on its £25million transforma­tion of the centre.

A Dransfield spokesman said: “Jojo Maman Bebe is a great company which we have worked with for many years here at Dransfield Properties.

“We are proud to have successful Jojo stores at both our Sanderson Arcade developmen­t in Morpeth and Fox Valley in north Sheffield so we are really pleased to be building on our relationsh­ip with the new store at our Five Valleys developmen­t in Stroud.

“We are confident this will be a great addition to the town centre and look forward to making further announceme­nts about new retailers joining the centre in the coming weeks.”
