Welcome
Parkview Retail
Just over a year from our full re-fit, we decided to take a long hard look at the store again. We also asked you for your views, and you wanted more chilled foods. So now your local Welcome has a chilled run for fresh food of 25m! Add to this the nearly 10m run for drinks, you really can get all your needs at your local shop. Enjoy the new range “Loved by Us”!
It was a lot to take in after the flood and full re-fit less than a year ago, but we knew that we could do better for our customers. So we re-worked the front of the store and more than doubled the fruit & veg display! Other improvements were more space for deals, moving news & mags and a new space for our non-food range. Non-food? Yes that’s right, you really need to come and have a look at the range and products on offer. All your needs under one roof at “Welcome”.
This Christmas, Parkview Retail Ltd wanted to give a little back to the city’s most needy children. So our very own little Santa’s helpers (Lucy & Paula) suggested joining the Christmas toy appeal. Southampton Voluntary Services have run the toy appeal for 34 years from their base in St Mary’s. This was so close to home for all of our staff we just had to do something to help! There are 3,000 names on the list of children, who without this help may not even receive one present this Christmas.
Our staff gave up their free time to help make a difference and went shopping. With the help of £200 from the safe and more than £100 stock from the store, a very sizable amount of presents were donated. But it did not stop at there, a few of our customers heard what was going on and even more gifts were given.
We wish all of our customers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The ladies played their first never match on Wednesday 4th December against Fleetlands. In the new match day kit the team played a excellent game, but unfortunately lost 3-0. Which for their first match all of us at Parkview Retail were very impressed with the start! GO CHAMBERLAYNE!!!!
Between both of our stores a total of £236.30 was raised for the Poppy Appeal from the collection boxes! So a big thank you to all of our customers for making this happen!
When Chamberlayne Athletic got in touch and said they were setting up a new ladies football team we were happy to sponsor them! We have agreed to supply the full kit required. Watch this space! The team has excellent potential.
