A Dragons Den star is officially opening a home and garden store in the Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre.

Owner Theo Paphitis will be cutting the ribbon for homeware specialist Robert Dyas a week on Friday (April 4) at 10am before getting behind the counter.

The new shop, which welcomed the public last Friday (March 21), is on the ground floor between Game and Card Factory.

Mr Paphitis said: “I’ve been looking forward to bringing Robert Dyas back to Ealing as soon as we could and it was just a matter of finding the right location.  As a shopkeeper I’m especially looking forward to rolling my sleeves up again and getting behind the counter to serve the good people of Ealing.”
