GO Outdoors is delighted to announce the opening of its newly refreshed Thurrock store, with a grand opening celebration taking place on Saturday, 9th May.
The store will officially open its doors at 9am, with England football legend and angling enthusiast David Seaman joining Store Manager Simon Wright to welcome customers.
The first 200 groups through the doors will receive a complimentary goody bag worth £40, and inside selected bags will be: one £500 in‑store voucher, one £200 voucher, and two £100 vouchers to spend on the day.
A day of celebration
Shoppers attending the launch event can expect a lively and family‑friendly atmosphere. Those queuing will be treated to a free hot drink from an on‑site coffee van, while inside the store visitors can enjoy entertainment from a DJ, balloon modeller and face painter.
YETI will be offering free engraving for drinkware purchased on the day, as well as a free ride on the Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Simulator, in celebration of the new and exclusive YETI x Oracle Red Bull Racing range.
The Berghaus repairhaus will be on site to repair any Berghaus garments for free. And Montane x Hardest Adventures will be offering the chance to experience what it’s like to train at altitude.
Following a Q & A with ex-England goalkeeper David Seaman, customers will have the chance to enter a free raffle, featuring prizes including a pair of ASICS running shoes, two pairs of Merrell shoes, a Berghaus backpack, a £2,000 Thule voucher, and more.
A bigger, better GO Outdoors
The newly refreshed Thurrock store is twice the size of the previous location, spanning over 50,000 sq ft, and offering free customer parking. It stocks an extensive range of leading outdoor brands, including Garmin, Rab, Zempire, Bleubird, Dometic, Montane, YETI and Thule, alongside trusted favourites such as Peter Storm, Berghaus and OEX.
The store also includes a brand‑new Leisure Lakes Cycling Department, a refreshed Fishing Republic angling concession, a larger Naylors Equestrian concession, and a full indoor tent field for customers to browse the new summer collection.
