A NEW store is set to open at Braintree Village this month.

Clothing brand Lyle and Scott is expected to move in by the middle of this month.

It will open in a shop on the north side of the outlet centre which was previously occupied by Chapelle Jewellery before it moved to another unit.

Centre manager Josef O'Sullivan said: “We are really delighted to welcome Lyle & Scott to Braintree Village.

"Lyle & Scott joins us at an exciting time as we continue evolving and transforming our village, which further demonstrates our commitment to providing our guests with a premium offer at outlet price and a mix of some of the most exciting brand names.

“Lyle & Scott will complement our current menswear offer, joining popular brands like Barbour, Hugo Boss and Ted Baker.”

The news comes just a month after bosses revealed Braintree Freeport was changing its name to Braintree Village with immediate effect.

The name change is part of a major revamp which is currently underway at the outlet.
