00:00Customers were queuing outside when Clinton's opened its new store in the
00:06Hildreth Centre in Skegness. Barry Robinson was there to have a look around.
00:13It's a bigger store so more selection for customers. So all the staff retain their jobs and it's a great
00:18opportunity for the centre and the customers. And at the time when things
00:22are pretty bad for everybody with the government putting rates and everything
00:26Do you think it's going to go okay for you?
00:30Well judging from the queue before we've even started I think the local community
00:35are really excited to have more options in the centre. It's great news for the
00:38local area to have new stores opening. So I think it's a great sign and I hope
00:42the local community support the new store and go get their Mother's Day cards and gifts from Clinton's.
00:50Most of you know Steve, artist, extravaganza manager at Hildreth Centre.
00:56Clinton's in the Hildreth's now. Yeah absolutely fantastic. It's because it's
01:00Clinton's and Home and Fragrance. They've just moved over from the other side to a
01:04much bigger unit which offers a lot more for the customers. And by the look of this
01:11this morning it looks like it's going to be a success. Yeah there's a lot of people in
01:14here. It's just opened the doors, they've given away free tote bags to the first
01:18hundred people and so yeah it looks, the shop looks absolutely brilliant.
01:25It looks like Sarah's going to be the first customer. Clinton, Sarah are you
01:29glad to see them back? Yes. Yeah that's it. Yes. So you know I mean we did lose them
01:35but they're back again with us so hopefully it'll be very nice to a lot of
01:38people. What do you think? Yeah I think it will bring the customer back. She was first in the queue to make sure she got a free gift I'll tell you.
01:48There you go look, Sarah with her free gift there. You know she was waiting at
02:10five o'clock this morning for this to open I'll tell you.
