A VALUE fashion chain store set to open tomorrow will now not open until next Tuesday.

The PEP&CO store in Eastleigh's Swan Shopping Centre was set for its grand opening replacing the Monsoon and Accessorize stores that previously occupied the same units.

But now the shopping centre management has said the opening has been delayed due to logistics as the store's refit and stocking of items is not yet complete.

Details about the timings of the new opening will be released shortly, said General Manager Daniel Kitchen.

This is one of 50 stores that the new value fashion retailer, which aims to attract young mums in particular, is hoping to open in eight weeks and will create 10 new jobs.
