WOMEN’S fashion retailer Dorothy Perkins has announced its plans for the grand opening on the Rock on July 16.

Throughout the launch day, guest DJs will be entertaining customers with feel-good summer songs, and the first 100 customers will get 20 per cent off all orders, and shoppers visiting on July 17 and 18 can get free manicures.

A Dorothy Perkins spokesman said: “We are all very excited about the opening of the new Dorothy Perkins store. “It has come at a perfect time for us. This store will be brimming with up-to-date wearable fashion and a haven of on-trend accessories.”

Dorothy Perkins was founded in 1909 under the name HP Newman. It changed its name to Dorothy Perkins seven years later and today has more than 600 outlets.
