Fantastic Grand Opening of Hollywood ‘just for fun’ in Southampton

On Good Friday 6th April Southampton played host to an incredible event, the opening of a glorious new fancy dress store, Hollywood ‘just for fun’!
The day kicked off with a terrifyingly ghoulish zombie parade through the town centre featuring characters such as Zombie-bob square pants, Thriller Micheal Jackson, zombie nurses, zombie sailors, a giant cockroach and many more creepy critters.
The zombies then congregated at the front doors of the store where they battled superheroes, magical creatures and childhood legends to be the first through the doors of the wonderful new fancy dress store.
Lenny the Lobster had the honor of cutting the ribbon along with a local councilor. And the Southampton Echo where there to commemorate the event with a few photographs.
The day continued to be busy with lots of intrigued locals popping in to check out the fantastic range of fancy dress costumes, accessories, masks, make-up and contact lenses not to mention balloons and fireworks!

Check out some of the events of the day in our photo gallery………

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.

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!

New store Southampton Hollywood just for fun

This is what Hollywood 'Just for fun' will look!

 

Hollywood to the rescue!

As you probably know, the staff here at Hollywood are extremely passionate about fancy dress. We heard of a fellow fancy dress store in trouble, struggling to keep its doors open and its staff employed. Knowing what a party loving town like Southampton is, we couldn’t deprive them the joy of a fancy dress store. At Hollywood, we value our staff and were saddened and distressed when we heard that so many fun, valuable fancy dress enthusiasts were going to be out of a job in this hard economic climate. That’s why we made it our duty as the largest fancy dress company on the south coast of England to fly in and rescue this desperate store and its brilliant staff in their time of need.
Lenny the Lobster and his team of decorators are revamping this dilapidated yet legendary Southampton outlet. A full Hollywood makeover will be given, turning the already renowned fancy dress extravaganza into a store that will have heads turning and jaws dropping all over Southampton. It’ll be like nothing you’ve seen before!
The store, soon to be open, will be stocked to the brim with the highest quality fancy dress costumes and accessories known to man! Every costume you can think of, from Batman to the Ugly Sisters, Katy Perry to a GIANT Carrot, we have a costume for every occasion and to suit every taste. We will also have a massive selection of party ware, including balloons, banners, streamers and much much more!
Hollywood are taking over Southampton, so don’t fret party goers, we will bring back your right to party! So no need to mourn the passing of this great store for too long because Hollywood Fancy Dress is bursting onto the scene with a whole new, bigger and better, box of tricks!
