The Aston Villa Bullring store had a grand opening today with hundreds of enthusiastic fans lining up as early as 5am to be among the first to enter the club’s new store. The new Bullring megastore, which includes a club shop, clothes shop, and museum, opened its doors at 8am to a crowd of eager supporters. The first 150 people to enter received a free gift bag, and some lucky fans even scored a secret adidas treat in their bags.
Kira Swain, a lifelong Villa supporter from Bartley Green, proudly took the top spot in the queue at 5am, expressing her excitement about being a Villa fan during such an exciting time for the club. She mentioned the progress of the women’s team and the long-overdue reopening of the store inside the Bullring. Season ticket holder Chloe Hurd, who traveled from Derby for the event, was looking forward to checking out the new away kit and exploring the entire store. She mentioned her love for adidas jackets, hoodies, and trainers, highlighting the anticipation and buzz surrounding the new shop.
Cory Donnelly, a young fan who made the trip to the Bullring before heading to school, couldn’t resist making a playful jab at Birmingham City while expressing his excitement about being a Villa fan at this time. He mentioned his interest in getting new trainers and an Aston Villa retro shirt from the store, adding a touch of rivalry with the neighboring team. The new Bullring store will be open from 10am to 5pm, welcoming fans to explore and shop for their favorite Villa merchandise.
