Search for local heroes to open new store
The dual facia Simply Be and Jacamo store, opening in Exeter High Street, has launched a search to find two local heroes, a woman and a man, as part of a competition which will see the winners opening the brand new store.
Opening on Thursday, 12 March, the winners will each be given £100 to spend on clothes for a new wardrobe before taking centre stage to cut the ribbon, declaring the store open.
Whether it’s someone who goes the extra mile to make a special contribution in Exeter or a member of the local community known and loved by many, the winners are guaranteed to have an unforgettable morning to celebrate the stylish new addition to the city.
Store manager, Mary Moran, will be judging the competition and are urging people from the local community to nominate worthy winners by sending 150 words on why they should win.
All nominations should be emailed to ExeterLocalHero@havasww.com before Friday 27th February at 5pm.
Mary says: "We are delighted to be opening the store in Exeter in the popular High Street and who better to cut the ribbon than two people who embody the spirit of Exeter?
“We're looking for a man and woman who deserve a treat - maybe because they go the extra mile for a family member, devote their time to the community or have worked hard to achieve their goals.
“I'm looking forward to reading the nominations - getting to know our new home and the people in it!"
