A NEW perfume shop opened for business in the town centre today.

The Fragrance Shop has begun trading in the Chantry Centre with staff feeling a positive welcome from Andover shoppers.

Store manager Caroline Smith said: "We have had lots of work to do but it has been a really good first day today.

"We've had a lot of people come in wanting to know what we sell and feedback has been great from the customers so far."

The store hopes to host an official opening event in a few weeks time, and are running an online competition on the Chantry Centre's website.

Bosses are also looking for more new recruits to join the team, and are encouraging anyone interested to come and meet the team in-store.
