AD Stoke Grand Opening - 27th January 2018
There's nothing quite like fishing a stretch of the Trent & Mersey Canal for chub, perch, roach, and the occasional passing bream, enjoying a few hours of relative quiet while the city hustle of Stoke carries on around you.
Nothing, that is, apart from fishing the Trent & Mersey with tackle, and top-quality local knowledge and advice, from the leading fishing retail force behind Angling Direct, who are pleased to announce the Grand Opening of their new Stoke store on Saturday, January 27th, running all day from 8am-6pm – giving you time to pop in and pick up some bait on your way to an early morning session, or call in while your other half's busy with the weekly grocery shop.
The home of the Potteries, Stoke is a vibrant city with a strong identity – the perfect match for the vibrancy, passion, and established strength of the Angling Direct brand, and the perfect location for our revolutionary fishing retail experience, which brings you all the top brands, including Shimano, Fox, Trakker, and Nash, as well as emerging challengers such as RidgeMonkey and Advanta, along with professional, knowledgeable, friendly retail service from staff who are as passionate about angling as you are.
Wherever you are in and around Stoke, Angling Direct extends a warm welcome, and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday 27th of January for our action-packed Grand Opening at Unit 3, Leek Road Trade Park, Leek Road, Stoke-On-Trent, ST1 3NQ
What's Happening?
On 27th January 2018, Angling Direct will be packing out the 5,000sqft of our Stoke store with over 8,500 product lines, mixing established high-performance brands with dynamic young newcomers to the angling scene to give you a wealth of choice, including over 200 rods, more than 200 reels, and a huge range of sleeping bags, a packed barrow section, and a stand-out display of seatboxes, as well as all the other angling accessories and essentials you'd expect from a premier retailer, from lures to luggage, clothing to cookware. We stock fresh bait, too, including the casters that the canal fish love, and liquid additives to jazz up the bread that makes a great hookbait for this area's piscatorial residents.
But we're not just showcasing our stock. Here at Angling Direct, we're all about the personal touch, and that's why we've got a raft of professional anglers attending on the 27th, giving you a chance to get up close and personal with some of the best in the business, picking up tips, tricks, and ideas.
Anglers in Attendance
On January 27th, the Angling Direct Stoke store will be welcoming several quality anglers to our grand opening. Names confirmed so far include Iain MacMillan, from Shimano, Kev Hewitt, who consults for ESP and CCMoore, Lee Morris of Fox, and Nash's Simon Crow, as well as Angling Direct's Hassan Khan, and carpy commentator Martin Clarke, who'll be signing his books.
Just as we do through our product ranges, which cater for carp angling, coarse and match, sea fishing, fly fishing, predator and specimen anglers, Angling Direct hope that the pro anglers we've got booked for the Stoke Grand Opening on January 27th represent the wide range of fishing needs, interests, and expertise going on in the city, and that anglers of all disciplines enjoy the day, and find someone they can relate to, and something that will help them achieve their angling ambitions.
Things Get Good With Goody Bags
The Goody Bags offered at Angling Direct store openings have become something of a cult attraction – and no wonder, when they're packed full of genuinely useful stuff. For the Stoke goody bags on January 27th, we've got hooks from RidgeMonkey, hats from Shimano, stylish lanyards from the practical, edgy fashion house that is Fortis, mugs from Trakker, for your perfect bankside brew, plus much more from the likes of Korda, Fox, and Advanta. Get in early and get yours! We're open from 8am, so why not get your day off to a cracking start?
What's On Offer?
To celebrate Angling Direct's arrival in Stoke, and kick off the dynamic upswing we hope to bring to the city's fishing, we're offering 20% off products from our own Advanta range, which brings you vibrant, high-quality products for all angling styles and disciplines, and 10% off all other brands in stock, which include well-known names such as Fortis, Carp Porter, and Vass, as well as young gamechangers such as RidgeMonkey, Avid Carp, and Wofte.
Angling Direct Stoke brings you over 8,500 products to get you started in angling, up your angling game, and give you the advantage you need to achieve your angling ambitions, across all angling disciplines, including predator fishing, fly fishing, carp angling, specimen, and sea fishing.
We stock a range of bait, including a selection of bait from Hinders, the name behind the powerful performance reputation of the Elips pellets, which are irresistable to barbel as well as our pellet pick and mix, which lets you create the perfect blend for your fishing easily and affordably, and is great fun for younger anglers.
With quality tackle and accessories from the likes of Rive, Aqua, Trakker, Advanta, Carp Porter and more, Angling Direct Stoke is a Mainline Bait centre, and a Shimano X store, ensuring that dynamic, professional-level angling has a home in Stoke for many years to come.
