We welcome Wilkinson to Crawley. The homeware store is due to set up shop on the former T J Huges site this summer. A provisional date of 16th August is quoted but this could be sooner.
The welcome re-occupation of the former department store site will re-invigorate The Broadway. Wilkinson is a popular retailer and a nationally known name with some 300 outlets, including those in Horsham and Redhill. It represents a much-needed town centre presence and more new jobs.
With the recent spate of good news on the investment front, including Nestle, Wilkinson, the Test dot.com warehouse and the new Three Bridges rail depot, Crawley, and its Council, must be doing some right to attract all of this new interest in our town.
