Directions
We are situated to the north of Shrewsbury, within the newly developed Battlefield Enterprise Park, between the A528 and A5112, and easily accessed via the M54 and A49.
A bus service (no. 25) runs regularly from the Town Centre, and we are only a minutes walk from the penultimate stop just outside Matalan.
We have ample free parking right outside the shop.
