Trixie UK held its first “Open House” on 18 and 19 June at the company’s head office in Ashford, Kent. Visitors were given extra discounts across the whole range. A free bar, fantastic food and amazing weather helped to give the event a feel-good factor too. Attendance was higher than anticipated, with people waiting for the doors to open on both days. Every store that attended the “Open House” was automatically entered into a free draw, and Janet from Claws & Paws in Sheringham, Norfolk won a Ford KA worth approximately £7,000. Runner-up prizes were gratefully received by 12 winners.
