First Ever Next Home and Childrenswear Store in Scotland

    LEICESTER, ENGLAND, November 16, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This is one of many new combined home and childrenswear stores that will open across the UK over the next year. It is also the first Next Home stand alone in Ayrshire, standing at 13,839 sq.ft. As a result of the opening, 70 jobs have been created.

To celebrate, Next will be running two competitions, one being the Golden Ticket Competition where the first 100 customers through the door will have the chance to win a gift card up to GBP100 in value*. The second competition invites customers to 'Guess the Room Set'. This will run from Thursday 24th until Sunday 27th November. Next is asking its customers to guess the value of all eight downstairs room sets in the store. Whoever guesses correctly wins a GBP150 gift card, with a GBP100 gift card for the runner up*.

The new store offers the very best of Christmas and home decorations this season, with all the trees and trimmings you could want for the festive period. From frosted snowflakes and silvery lanterns, to sparkling gold decorations and table settings, there's plenty to choose from to give your home a gorgeously festive look.

Get that welcome home feel in time for Christmas with Next's 5 day furniture delivery promise. From beautifully made living room furniture and stylish sofas to newly arrived bedroom furniture, get the season's key colours of warm golds, shades of deep red and jewel tones.

Next Childrenswear offers a beautiful selection of Christmas outfits for the little ones. Girls will love the party dresses, fun tutus and sparkly accessories. For the boys, think smart jackets and pin-tucked shirts accessorised with bowler hats and braces. Flashes of bright red tartan give this great look a rebel edge.
