A NEW Cirencester shop was officially opened at the end of October.

UK-based footwear manufacturer Hotter’s new store was formally opened at 26 Cricklade Street, Cirencester, on Saturday, October 26.

Those present included Cirencester town crier John Lawrence.

The store was also set to celebrate its arrival by giving away goody bags to the first 30 customers who made a purchase on opening day.

The shop is the 19th store to date for Hotter, a business which promises footwear combining comfort and style.

The brand previously had a manned concession at Dobbies Cirencester off the Cirencester Road.

Heading up the new team of Hotter experts and ready to answer shoe-related queries is store manager Jo Daffon.

“It’s so exciting to be opening another new Hotter store, especially where we already have an existing loyal customer base,” Jo said.

“We’re opening with our newest collection in-store, packed full of stylish yet comfortable shoes for both men and women.

“There’s something for every moment too, from trainers for your everyday and walking shoes and boots for the great outdoors to smart shoes for special occasions and cosy slippers for relaxing nights in.”
