Talk Direct doubles size of our O2 store

Wed 08 May, 2013

Yorkshire 02 franchisee Talk Direct has opened a larger, completely refurbished O2 store at the Merrion Centre.

The new store has doubled in size and includes a meeting room facility, available in the summer, that businesses will be able to use free of charge. This will be the first O2 store to have one outside London. The room will seat up to 12 people, offer complementary tea and coffee, have a printer service, conference call facilities and a smart interactive board.

Commenting on the newly refurbished store, Sajid Patel from Talk Direct said: “We opened our first store in the Merrion Centre back in 2006 and now we have our flagship shop here. The Merrion Centre helped launch our business, and over the past 7 years it has grown from strength to strength. We believe the key to our success lies in that we’re totally committed to offering a friendly personal service which means our customers remain very loyal.”

Helen Green, Associate Director for Town Centre Securities PLC who own and manage the Merrion Centre said: “It’s great to be part of Talk Direct’s success story. The new store looks fantastic and really enhances the mall. Talk Direct are a long standing tenant and it’s great to see them expand and choose the Merrion Centre for their flagship store.

\“With our New Front scheme adjacent to the Leeds Arena coming on stream this year, there has never been a better time to be a retailer at the Merrion Centre.”
