Matalan currently has 230 stores across the UK, and there are also other local stores in Swansea and Carmarthen. Ayse Randall, store manager said: "Matalan has been long awaited in Llanelli and we are so excited to be part of Trostre Retail Park. There’s now even ‘More To Love at Matalan’ and the store will offer customers amazing fashion and home inspiration for all the family at incredible value. We can’t wait to welcome our customers to a brand new store."
Parc Trostre has seen major retailers such as Outfit, H&M, Debenhams and Next depart during the pandemic, leaving empty units behind.
A new independent store is also set to open in the retail park, called '925 Treats', which will sell a wide range of jewellery, handbags and accessories and offers items from brands such as Nomination, Coeur De Lion, Hot Diamonds and Qudo. It already has two stores, one in Carmarthen and another in Ammanford, and is set to open in Llanelli very soon.
