Horsham is set to get a little injunction of fun as a new international retailer arrives at the end of the month.

Excitement has been building after stationary retailer Smiggle announced it would be opening a shop in Swan Walk shopping centre.

Boards have gone up around the empty unit next to the Body Shop announcing the Australian retailer’s imminent arrival.

John Cheston, managing director of Smiggle, said: “We’re thrilled to be opening our store here in Horsham. There really is nothing like Smiggle anywhere else on the high street – and it will be great to see the public’s reaction when the doors open on April 28.

“It’s important for us to inject fun into everything we do – from product design to store design, we will always focus on delivering to our fans the most original and playful stationery possible.”

Smiggle – where a smile meets a giggle - offers a whole host of funky products including multi-coloured backpacks, eye-catching pencil cases, sparkly stationery, gadgets and gizmos, and lots of goodies to deck out desks.
