Mobility business set to open second UK site in former Pandora shop in Boston
Sunshine Scooters will launch the venture in Strait Bargate on Saturday, August 1.
It has taken on the unit previously occupied by Pandora; the jewellery retailer was due to close after more than five years in the town on March 28 but shut a week early when the coronavirus lockdown hit.
Sunshine Scooters was established in 2018.

The company said it was attracted to Boston by the strength of its high street and market and a demand it perceived in the area for a business of its type.
During the opening weekend, free goodies and the chance to win money off items in the shop will be available.
Pandora was approached by the Standard regarding its store closure, but at the time of going to press had not yet issued a comment.
