H&T PAWNBROKERS has opened its 87th store in the Port Arcades.
The chain provides short-term financial solutions, including pawnbroking, pay day advance and unsecured loans.
It also stocks a large variety of new and second-hand jewellery.
This new store is a bit of a departure for H&T as it has a lot more of its jewellery on display, using curved internal display bays, which provides a softer internal feel.
Zoe Parry, area manager, said: “We thought that we could do really well with our jewellery offer in Ellesmere Port, and designed a store to do just that.”
In order to get the best from the store, H&T has made local resident Sandra Sproston manager, promoting her from assistant manager of the Runcorn branch, where she has been working for the past five years.
She said: “We aim to give a great service, whether people are buying or selling jewellery, or after a loan.”
