A SHOPPING centre has welcomed a health and beauty products store as its newest addition.

Bodycare, which has more than 100 stores nationally, has opened its second North-East branch at the Prince Bishops Shopping Centre, in Durham.

Now in its fourth year of trading, the centre remains 100 per cent let, retaining many of its original tenants.

Jennifer Thompson, manager of Bodycare, said: "Prince Bishops is a bright, clean, cheery centre with excellent security. We have been made to feel very welcome by the centre management team and no problem is too small.

"We have had an excellent response to our products and the store in general."

Peter Bennion, centre manager, said: "We are delighted to extend the choice we offer our many shoppers by the addition of new and exciting retailers to the centre.

"We wish Bodycare every success over the coming months and years.
