SHOPPING fanatics can soon take to the stores as non-essential retail shops prepare to reopen on Monday.

Westquay Shopping Centre will be reopening a number of their stores "as quickly as they can" but ask shoppers to bear with them.

It follows months of closures as the coronavirus pandemic led to a lockdown, meaning all non-essential stores had to temporarily shut up shop.

A spokesperson for Westquay said: "Please bear with us as we get set to welcome you back on Monday 15 June.

Daily Echo:

"First, we want to say a massive thanks to all our essential workers that have kept key stores open and running while we’ve been in lockdown, and to all the NHS workers that have truly gone the extra mile over the past few months.

"We need to work together to keep safe, and the way we all shop is going to feel different for a while. We’ll be introducing a range of measures to keep you safe. Our priority is yours and our colleagues’ health, and we’ll update you on everything we’re doing before we open.

"Not all stores will be able to reopen initially and we'll be publishing an up-to-date list of these stores on our website, so please do check back before you visit."

And it's not just stores as several restaurants are also planning to open their doors to customers again.
