The Range offers free meals for kids as it launches new café at Stockport store

This Friday, The Range will officially open its newly transformed in-store cafe at its Stockport branch. Cafe Eighty Nine is named after the year the retailer, which sells a range of home, leisure and garden items, first started trading.

To celebrate the launch on the new-look cafe, The Range will be offering free kids meals over the course of the opening weekend. From Friday, 21 June until Sunday, 23 June, a variety of children's meals will be free when an adult meal is purchased.

The newly refurbished café will boast a fresh and inviting interior scheme with pops of green and cream stripes to give a 'continental' feel. It will also feature cosy seating areas and ambient lighting adding to to what the shop is billing as a 'village green' meeting space where a range of dishes and barista-made hot drinks will be on offer.

Speaking about the new cafe, CEO of The Range, Alex Simpkin said: “At The Range we have committed to refurbish a number of stores up and down the country and Stockport is one of many to benefit from this stunning new cafe.

“We are incredibly proud of the space, not only does it enable local shoppers to dine affordably pre or post shop but they get to do so in bright, modern new surroundings.

“A lot of time has been spent making sure that the food and drinks offering provides customers with brilliant quality, while keeping prices affordable, especially for families as we start to enter the summer period.”

The menu at Cafe Eighty Nine will encompass an all-day English breakfast with a vegetarian option available for £3.99, alongside family favourites, including pizzas for £5.49 and burgers, curries and lasagne for £6.49. Light bites, such as salads, jacket potatoes and toasties are also available.

A variety of kids favourite foods are available, including a cooked breakfast, fish fingers and chips, and sausage & chips. A child’s meal will be free with each purchase of an adult main meal.

In addition to the cooked to order menu, Café Eighty Nine will be offering a range of barista coffees including, cappuccinos, lattes, espressos and mochas, starting from just £1.95. Specialty cold coffee drinks from Costa are also on the menu for summer.

Owned and run by entrepreneur Chris Dawson, The Range started life as a market stall trading across the South West of England. The first store was opened in 1989 under the name CDS and there are now over 210 stores across the UK and Ireland.

The home, leisure and gardens retailer sells over 140,000 products across 18 departments including DIY, Kitchen & Dining, Furniture, Arts & Crafts and Textiles. Cafe Eighty Nine opens at The Range Stockport, located at The Peel Centre, this Friday.
