A SPECIAL guest will attend the ribbon-cutting of a new store in Maldon.

Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist and comedian, Graeme Matthews, will be opening Shoe Zone’s ‘big box’ store at Blackwater Retail Centre tomorrow.

Mr Matthews, who is also known as Bam Bam, will perform a few tricks on the day that wowed the judges throughout this year’s competition.

It is one of three ‘big box’ stores to open in June across the country and will create four new jobs.

Retail boss Nick Davis said: “We are very excited to be opening our 33rd branded store.

“This is our 14th big box store opening this financial year, which is a great achievement for Shoe Zone, taking our total number of stores in the UK to 498.

“We hope our customers like what’s on offer and we look forward to welcoming them into our new store.”
