New fashion store to give Rugby town centre a Pep

Rugby Editorial 6th Nov, 2016   0

A FASHION store is coming to Rugby’s indoor shopping centre – and its bosses believe it can give the town centre a boost.

Pep&Co chose to bring a store to the Clock Towers Shopping Centre after the town was among the 400 most-requested venues in a public poll.

Pep&Co’s managing director Adrian Mountford said: “I’m tremendously excited to be bringing Pep&Co to Rugby, after the local community campaigned for us to open here.

“We know from our first 50 stores that we can play a big part in helping town centres thrive, giving people another reason to shop locally.”




Robin Swift, Centre Manager at Clock Towers Shopping Centre added: “We’re thrilled to be able to announce the arrival of Pep&Co to Clock Towers. This continues to mark an exciting time for the centre as we undergo a major transformation and goes to show that we are appealing to some great brand names.”

The shopping centre’s new owners CT Properties, who bought it last year, are making ‘a significant investment’ to upgrade the mall over the next 18 months to give it “a completely new, modernised look and feel”.


Plans include upgrades to roofing, parking pay machines, lifts, CCTV cameras, car park lighting, entrances, flooring and street furniture, as well as free WiFi and large multimedia digital screens.

* RUGBY mums have until Monday (November 7) to enter a draw to become the ‘face’ of the new store when it opens next Friday (November 11).

The winning mum will receive a new Pep&Co outfit and be invited to open the store, where they will be snapped on the red carpet in their new ensemble.

To enter, email why you should be the face of Pep, a photograph, name, address and contact details to [email protected] with ‘Rugby’ in the subject title.

The store is also recruiting local people for roles designed for those wanting to juggle family lives through full and part time contracts with flexible hours. Visit http://careers.pepandco.com/jobs to apply.
