Holiday pop-up shop set to open
A holiday pop-up shop is to open in the Merrion Centre, Leeds, to help visitors beat the post-Christmas blues.
The joint venture between Jet2holidays and Althams Travel will see the shop open in the centre’s mall from Monday January 15 to Saturday January 20. The holidays companies will be giving away a series of prizes including family holidays and weekend getaways.
Craig Davidson, general manager of trade sales for Jet2holidays, said: “We’re looking forward to setting up shop in the Merrion Centre. We know January is the most popular month for booking holidays and is a time when people are looking to cheer themselves up, so we’re putting smiles on their faces by making it easy for them to get their holiday booked. On top of that we’re going to be giving away some amazing free holidays and getaways as well.”
The holiday pop-up shop is the first new venture of 2018 for the Merrion Centre, following a year of successful events in 2017. The previous 12 months saw the centre bring a number of new temporary additions to the main mall; including a food festival and live music in association with the Black Music Festival.
James Broughton, head of marketing & PR of Town Centre Securities, owner of the Merrion Centre, said: “We’re hitting the ground running in 2018, continuing our mission to bring visitors some unique experience’s to further complement our existing mix of shops, restaurants and leisure outlets.
“We are fortunate to have the space and growing footfall numbers in our mall to bring in a variety of pop ups that we ensure will add something unique to the centre.”
