Specsavers in Sutton in Ashfield celebrated their 20th anniversary throughout the month of July.
iPad winner
Throughout July, visitors to the Specsavers store in the Idlewells Shopping Centre had the chance to put their name into a free prize draw, to be in with a chance of winning a brand new iPad Mini, amongst other prizes. The winner of the iPad, John Cordin, was announced on Saturday 25 July.
Flash mob fun
For the duration of the month, the store was decorated in birthday paraphernalia and customers were treated to birthday cupcakes in the store’s waiting area. On Saturday 18 July, the Excelsior School of Dance treated shoppers to a flash mob, dancing to a mixture of pop songs.
Staff also presented a video of messages, artwork and a scrapbook with pictures to store director Nigel Davidson to commemorate his 20 years at the store.
‘Here’s to the next 20 years’
Store director Nigel Davidson said: ‘We have celebrated our birthday in style and had a lot of fun during the month. I’ve been overwhelmed with the presents and can’t thank my staff enough. Without them and our customers, the business wouldn’t be what it is today. Here’s to the next 20 years!’
