Inside TUI's new Wigan store after relocation and 'sparkling' makeover
A refurbished and new-look TUI retail store has reopened in Wigan with hundreds of customers snapping up their dream holiday in the first month of trade.
The TUI store reopened in October in a new location in the heart of Robin Retail Park. The previous store had served the Wigan community for more than 25 years in the same retail park.
TUI Wigan’s Retail Manager Chris Iphofen said: “We’ve been so excited about the opening of our brand-new store in the heart of Robin Retail Park. The store really enhances customers’ experience with a modern and fresh feel, private booths and plenty of room to relax while planning their holidays. It’s been fantastic to see so many familiar faces returning, as well as meeting new customers who are excited to book their next adventure.
“Since opening, we’re still seeing strong demand for Marella Cruises, which is hugely popular with our Wigan customers. Cruises offer the perfect way to explore multiple destinations without the hassle of packing and unpacking each night. Everything is taken care of and guests can enjoy great entertainment, dining and relaxation while waking up somewhere new every day. It’s a fantastic option for those who want variety and value in one holiday.
“Türkiye continues to be a top choice for last-minute deals, and it’s easy to see why. It’s just a short flight from the UK, offers great weather even in the cooler months, and combines beautiful beaches and towns with rich culture and history. Customers love the mix of relaxation and adventure, plus the excellent value for money.
“We’ve also seen a real rise in city breaks to destinations like Paris and Prague which are perfect for shorter winter getaways. Paris for its romantic charm, world-class shopping, and festive atmosphere, and Prague for its stunning architecture, Christmas markets, and cosy cafés. Both cities offer that magical winter vibe without needing a long-haul flight, making them ideal for a quick escape.
“We’re a team of eight passionate travel experts, all well-travelled and ready to inspire our customers. Our team has specialist knowledge across cruises, European escapes, long-haul destinations including Florida and Asia, as well as vibrant city breaks. We’re ready to help customers explore the world.”
Wigan is also home to a second TUI retail branch located in Market Place town centre.
The TUI Robin Retail Park’s opening hours are:
Monday – Friday 10:00 – 19:00
Saturday 9:30 – 18:00
Sunday 10:30 – 16:30
