Retail site open after
six–figure revamp
Report by Henry James
A POPULAR retail site that
has undergone a six–figure
revamp is now open to the
public – ahead of the
official opening celebration
due to take place in a few
weeks.
The new outlet store, The
Courtyard, on the site of the
former Webster’s of
Tarleton, opened its doors
to host a celebration for a
select invited group of
residents on Tuesday and
Wednesday, September 24
and 25.
Spokesman for The
Courtyard, Jonathan Addis,
said: “We wanted the local
people who have supported
us most since we began the
redevelopment of the store
to enjoy the first look at The
Courtyard.
“We worked hard to make
sure all the right people
were invited. Thankfully,
they came in their
hundreds and for that we
are incredibly grateful.
“We received nothing but
favourable feedback and
kind words of
encouragement on each
night.
“We’re delighted to be
trading in Tarleton and
hope the whole of
Guests, Larry and Angela Thompson and Olga and Monty
Tuck–Brown at The Courtyard preview event
Lancashire will come and
see what we’ve created
here, because we think it’s
a bit special!”
Shoppers were
entertained by singer Paul
Guard during the two
preview evenings; while
complimentary food and
drinks were supplied by
Whittles Farm, which
remains a part of The
Courtyard experience.
The 50–covers restaurant,
plus the coffee shop,
continues to trade on the
site under the management
of Jonathan Webster, Ann
Palmer and head chef,
Simon Jackson.
The five–week
transformation of the
10,000 square–feet outlet
cost in excess of £100,000
and created more than 25
new jobs. The store now
offers famous fashion
brands and high–quality
homeware concessions.
Meanwhile, The
Courtyard is seeking
nominations for a West
Lancashire Community
Hero to officially open the
new store in October.
Anyone wishing to
nominate a local person is
invited to send their details
and a brief explanation why
they should win to
