Popular bakery chain GAIL’s has officially announced the opening date for its first store in Gloucestershire, much to the delight of pastry enthusiasts. The new GAIL’s location will be situated on Cheltenham’s Promenade, right next to men’s clothing retailer Charles Tyrwhitt. The venue at 100 Promenade already features GAIL’s distinctive branding above the entrance, signaling its imminent arrival.
A spokesperson for GAIL’s confirmed to GloucestershireLive that the Cheltenham store will open on July 17, just six weeks from now. This news has sparked excitement among fans, with many social media users describing the upcoming opening as “amazing” and “music to my ears.”
