Leisure Lakes are opening a new shop in Newport.
It says they are moving in to an existing store near J27 of the M4.
Anyone know where this will be?
Are they taking over the Broadribb/Discount Cycles shop or another shop unit?

(If not Broadribb then I'm thinking maybe the old Gwent Camping shop at St. Woolos.)

    Its definitely Broadribbs. Broadribbs sold because the two guys there left to open a new store, I believe on the old Callows site on Caerleon Road. Good luck to them, they really know there stuff and the workshop is second to none with a really fast turnaround time.

    I drove past the shop today and there was a Leisure Lakes van parked outside. The shop was shut which is normal for a Tuesday.
