We opened newsXpress Watergardens this morning – the first corporate store for the newsXpress group. I am one of three shareholders in newsXpress. The photos below show parts of the store and some of what we are trying to achieve in our own journey to the newsagency of the future.
Creating a business from scratch involves an extraordinary amount of work. In the case of Watergardens, Ben Kay has carried the bulk of this. It is rare that a business manager would work as hard and selflessly as Ben has over the last six months to make Watergardens a reality.
Congratulations, Mark and all your team involved with the new store. As you say a new store is a mammoth task from concept to delivery.
Having been through a major project with our store three years ago I think that one of the things that gave me the greatest buzz was how the customers reacted when we launched it.The wow comments went on for weeks and even some people who had not visited for a while thought wow appropriate months after openning day.
So how have your customers been today?
I wish you all a grear success and lookforward to reading about the stores progress.
