Local businesses are expressing robust support for the proposal to install 62 storage containers next to an out-of-town retail park. The development aims to bolster logistics and storage capacity in anticipation of increased demand following the opening of the new Cotswolds Designer Outlet near the M5 motorway.
Ross Labels, a prominent local company, faces mounting competition with the arrival of this large-scale retail destination, which is expected to attract a significant influx of shoppers to the region. The storage containers are seen as a strategic move to enhance operational efficiency and manage inventory more effectively in the face of this evolving retail landscape.
Community feedback highlights optimism that the additional storage facilities will not only support businesses like Ross Labels but also stimulate local economic growth. With improved infrastructure in place, companies are better positioned to capitalize on emerging retail opportunities presented by the new outlet.
