Grand Opening of Hollywood ‘just for fun’ Southampton Good Friday 6th April

A new fancy dress store is set to open at the beginning of next month which is to aid disappointment after the popular ‘Just For Fun’ store closed its doors earlier this year.

Hollywood, being the biggest fancy dress shop on the south coast of England, has saved the jobs of many at the old fancy dress store in Southampton ‘Just For Fun’ and is revamping it to be bigger and better with a more modern and youthful atmosphere to attract young and old alike.

The new store, called Hollywood ‘Just For Fun,’ will be located at the former ‘Just for Fun’ site at
31 – 37 Queensway, Southampton SO14 3BL. The vibrant new store will bring fun and colour to the area with its new eye catching signage which brightens up Queensway.

Hollywood Fancy Dress already have two stores in Bournemouth attracting a huge and diverse clientale and are excited to open up a third. Hollywood offer good value for money, a huge selection of fancy dress costumes, costume accessories, balloons, wigs, face paint, masks and so much more . A new sexy ladies Fever Boutique is to be fitted at the new Southampton shop offering the ladies a private selection of saucy costumes.

Hollywood Balloon Arcade is another important part of the party shop offering a balloon decoration service which will be in operation shortly when all staff have been fully trained with a service second to none.
We offer a huge selection of foil and latex balloons for all occasions including balloon bouquets and clusters, single foils, table decorations plus so much more.

Sam Kerr, already a strong Hollywood team member is to be manager of the new Southampton store, said: “Our target audience is huge and with Southampton being a big city with a huge party atmosphere, we are sure that the store will be supported by everyone.”

“We hope to become a supporting part of the community and help towards the progression of Queensway. We want Hollywood ‘Just For Fun’ to strive to be a strong presence in Southampton for the foreseeable future.”

“Hollywood has been a well established fancy dress business for decades. We offer our customers the biggest range of fancy dress costumes in the South and the quality of the costumes is second to none. Our customers are a huge part of how we run the business, taking their feedback whenever possible to expand our product range is important.”
“Our close knit Hollywood team work together to come up with fresh new ideas regularly, allowing Hollywood to remain at the forefront of current fancy dress trends” she said.

Hollywood “Just For Fun’ is to open on Good Friday, April 6th, at midday. There will be a massive zombie infestation in and around Southampton to promote the event, as well as a whole host of amazing characters hunting down the zombies. Come dressed as a Zombie, and the best dressed could be the winner of a £50, £75 or £100 gift voucher for the new store! The Parade starts at Hollywood ‘just for fun’ on 31-37 Queensway Southampton and continues through the heart of Southampton town centre.
If you would like to take part in the Zombie Parade please check the Hollywood ‘just for fun’ Facebook page for details or email lauren@hollywood.uk.com. Help get the party started in Queensway with Hollywood!

ATTENTION! EXCITING NEW HOLLYWOOD FANCY DRESS STORE OPENING SOON IN SOUTHAMPTON!!

Hollywood Fancy Dress are pleased to announce an exciting new business venture! We’re adding to our fabulous fancy dress fleet and we want you to be with us every step of the way!
With 30 years of fancy dress expertise under our belt, we strive to deliver not only fantastic customer service, but the newest and most exciting costumes straight off the production line from the world’s leading fancy dress suppliers. Our mother shop in Castle Lane West gave us the grounding to, 2 years ago, open a sister shop in the heart of the party town, Bournemouth. Success has been on our side, attracting a university based clientele, allowing us to work alongside nightclubs and the Bournemouth Student Union to add a fancy dress flare to their events and club nights.
Seeing a fancy dress store in jeopardy pulls on our heart strings, and we feel like we need to help in every way we can. In this instance, we heard of their plight when Lenny’s cousin, Colin the Crab, who lives in Southampton and is a frequent visitor to their fancy dress shop, noticed a closing down sale in the local store. After speaking to the manager, Gillian, he heard the tragic story and rang Lenny on his shell phone to break the news.
Obviously, it is a big step to open a third store, but Hollywood are always up for a challenge and have faith that the lovely people of Southampton will come out and show their support!
For regular updates on how the new store is getting on, then join us on Facebook, follow our blog on our website www.hollywood.uk.com or follow us on Twitter. That way, you can be with us every step of the way to opening this fantastic new store. Olympics, step aside! The highlight of 2012 will be the grand opening of this new Hollywood store, and we want all of you to come and join the party!

Fancy Dress for Sports Relief – Training with Lenny the Lobster

The Hollywood Fancy Dress staff always like to get stuck in to anything related to charity and having fun! Sports Relief was right up our street and our mascot, Lenny the Lobster, was the first on the scene as he trained himself up for Sports Relief. Quickly followed by his best mate Zippy from Rainbow, who made a special appearance for the day, and the 188 man, who never needs an excuse to work out, Lenny and the crew went for a run! Check out what they got up to, including meeting some lovely builders and the Field and Trek staff. If you like what you see, feel free to share our video and inspire others to raise money for Sports Relief this year!
