The West Ham club store in Eastgate Shopping Centre, Basildon has closed it’s doors for the last time due to the imminent grand opening of the new club megastore in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford – which is three times the size of the previous Boleyn Ground store.
An official West Ham spokesman told ClaretandHugh this afternoon:
“The West Ham United Store at the Eastgate Shopping Centre was opened as a pop-up to cope with high demand over the Christmas period. In response to the store’s popularity, the pop-up venture’s run was extended but the store has now closed as attention turns to the Club’s new Megastore beside its magnificent Stadium on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, due to open this summer.
“Details of the official new Club Store opening will be available on whufc.com in the coming weeks.”
Does that mean that the Romford and Lakeside shops will also close. The new stadium store may be bigger but it’s a longer journey for some fans to visit.
