Leicester Tigers players will get behind the tills on Saturday when they help to officially open the club’s new pop-up shop in the city’s Highcross Shopping Centre.

Ahead of Tigers’ home fixture against Exeter Chiefs, fans will have the chance to meet the players and even get served by them as the club celebrates the opening of the store located in the upper mall of Highcross.

Open until January 2018, the ‘pop-up’ shop will stock replica kit, leisurewear and training kit as well as the Welford Road ‘125 anniversary’ collection.

Players will be at the shop – situated opposite club partner Holland & Barrett’s store – from 10.00am until noon with club mascot Welford also around for photos with younger fans from 11.00am.

Supporters visiting Highcross will also be able to purchase tickets for Tigers home fixtures at the store. 

The store will be open from 9.00am on Saturday (September 30). Normal opening hours are 9.30am-8.00pm Monday-Friday, 9.00am-7.00pm Saturdays and 11.00am-5.00pm Sundays. 

The Tigers store at Welford Road will continue to operate as normal and is open 9.00am-5.00pm Monday-Saturday every week and 10.00am-4.00pm on Sundays.
