Around 800 queued for the opening of the Disney Store’s first UK outlet in Cheshire Oaks this week

Hundreds of Disney fans queued to be among the first to step foot inside the Disney Store’s first UK outlet at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Cheshire Oaks earlier this week.

An estimated 800 people joined the line ahead of the grand opening at 11am on Thursday 12 November, with Disney Store’s traditional lock-and-key ceremony declaring the store open for business.

“There were lots of pin collectors near the front of the queue this morning, and pins have been our bestsellers so far,” said a Disney Store spokesperson. “The plush displays have been busy too. There’s been a great atmosphere in the store, and we’d like to thank everyone who queued to be among the first through the doors.”

The approximately 1,300 sq ft store is a long-term addition to the centre and is located in Unit 70. It offers savings of up to 40 per cent on selected products, alongside multibuy deals, special offers and new and seasonal full-price merchandise. The range spans toys, plush, dress-up, clothing, accessories, stationery and collectibles inspired by Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars.

To mark the opening, the first 400 shoppers to spend over £50 received a free Stitch Christmas ornament.
