The Entertainer has completely revamped its 5,042 sq ft shop inside the Mander Centre, which will re-open on Saturday.

Managing director Gary Grant said the move came as the company's profits were soaring.

He said: "After experiencing such solid growth across the UK we are pleased to announce the refit of the Wolverhampton store.

"Wolverhampton and the centre itself continues to offer a strong retail position for our store as it attracts large numbers of family shoppers who are demanding more toy shopping choice on the high street and within shopping centres.

"We look forward to bringing joy and wonder to the children of Wolverhampton and we have plans to increase our presence in UK and will announce further plans soon."

The Mander Centre store first opened in 1998.

The company has 89 stores across the UK and plans to open another 12.

Shoppers visiting on the day of the re-opening will have the chance to meet the Red Ranger character from the children's television show Power Rangers.

And Cameron Janagal, an 11-year-old living with the muscle-wasting condition Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, will take part in a trolley dash on Friday, supported by Wolverhampton charity Promise Dreams.
