Melrose Arch shoppers welcomed the reopening of Exclusive Books there on 31 October. The new store is located opposite FNB, close to Clicks, and is managed by experienced bookseller Alexia Frangiskakis. CEO Grattan Kirk:
We are really excited to be back in the Melrose Arch Precinct. The feedback from customers, tenants and the landlord in anticipation of our reopening was that there was a ‘massive void’ left when we exited in 2016. Their support has been phenomenal and hence we expect the store to perform very well. The opening of the Melrose Arch store represents the 3rd store we have opened in the last quarter, in line with our growth strategy. We will also open a new store in Windhoek, Namibia in mid-November. Our sincere thanks to the new team at Melrose as well as our head office team who worked tirelessly to open the store on time. The store will also include a Vida e Caffé offering in line with our strategy of providing our customers with the best possible atmosphere in which to enjoy our quality books served by our experienced and knowledgeable booksellers.
