QD’s Newmarket Store Announces 1st Anniversary Competition Prize Winner
QD Stores in Newmarket has announced the winner of its recent customer competition held to mark the store's 1st anniversary. Shoppers were invited to estimate the number of bags of sugar sold during the first year of trading. The winning estimate came from Mr Malcolm Holtshaused. His guess was just short of the actual total of 20,000, which is more than the town's population of around 15,000, as recorded at the last census. Mr Holtshaused, a regular customer of QD, described himself as a big fan of QD. He added, "I often pop into the store when I'm in town at the weekend and particularly like the convenience of being able to shop for such a wide selection of items under one roof." Newmarket was the fifth in a string of QD stores to open in 2009. The retail group, which also owns the Cherry Lane chain of garden centres, Lathams of Potter Heigham and the Buyright Superstore in Hadleigh, Suffolk, continues to go from strength to strength and has recently been listed among the top 75 retail businesses in the Eastern Daily Press Business Guide 2010.
