Wigan shop launches, often with celebrities, back in the 1990s

There’s always a bit of a stir when new businesses open on the high street and sometimes the owners will bring in a VIP or two to heighten the launch’s profile.

Here are a number of Wigan picture opportunities from the 1990s. Rugby stars and mayors appear to have been ther preferred guests.
