Kirsty Freudenreich, head of operations at Highcross Leicester, said: "We’re delighted to welcome Leicester City Football Club’s fan store to Highcross, just in time for the Christmas period. Leicestershire is a county filled with passionate sports fans, so we’re confident that supporters of the Foxes will love this pop-up fan store, which has opened today (20 Nov) on the upper mall, between Samsung and newcomer, Prezzybox.
"To mark both its opening, and the city’s festive light switch on event [on Wednesday, November 20], fans can take part in a meet and greet with their favourite footballing stars from the men’s and women’s first team, between 5:30pm – 7:30pm. While you’re at the centre, don’t forget to drop by the Clock Tower to watch the Highcross-sponsored Christmas tree, and city centre, come alive from 6:30pm. We’re guaranteed to get a sprinkling of snow, too!”
