It’s the quick and easy way to maintain your mullet.
For the November lockdown, the list of stores that are currently open (as of 9.11.20) is shown here for your information. This may be subject to change, so we would recommend that you contact the store direct for any specific information or enquiry you may have. Please use our Store Directory or social media channels for this information.
Our stores have been working hard to implement additional safety measures to ensure all of our visitors and their employees remain safe, as well as enhanced cleaning and sanitisation stations throughout the centre.
We ask that all visitors wear a face covering whilst onsite (unless you are exempt) and keep to the social distancing guidelines of 2 metres.
This is an ever-changing situation, so please keep an eye on our Facebook or Twitter profiles for any new updates and information to help you plan your visit.
We’re here to help support you as much as we can, and look forward to welcoming you safely to the centre.
The end of October saw the opening of One Below, a new UK discount store selling everything for £1 and under here at The Cockhedge Shopping Park.
This is its first store in Warrington, and the business was created by the original founders of Poundworld Retail. One Below will breathe new life in to the former popular Poundworld store at Cockhedge Shopping Park.
Bucking the current declining trend of other retailers on the high street, One Below has invested a six figure sum in the opening of the store and will create 30 local retail jobs for the town. Centre Manager George Wesson commented:
“The Cockhedge Shopping Centre is happy to welcome our newest retailer One Below, who have taken a 7,500 sq ft unit in the mall. It’s good to see during these difficult times that the heart of retail is still beating.”
One Below has implemented recommended social distancing and hygiene measures in order for customers to shop safely.
The store has a huge range of essential items across 10 departments including cleaning, groceries, cleaning, home, health and beauty, baby care, toy, DIY. Plus there’s a fantastic range of Halloween decorations, dress up and partyware for last minute shoppers and a huge Christmas range which launches in store on November 1st.
A wide range of branded goods such as Coca Cola, Pedigree, Heinz, Kellogg’s and Cadbury’s will be on offer in store. Plus, many popular cleaning names such as Zoflora and The Pink Stuff, as favoured by social media superstar Mrs Hinch.
Christopher Edwards (37) managing director of One Below Retail Limited said: “We’re delighted to be opening a new store in Warrington. We are the only store on the high street to sell over 5,000 items for £1 or even less!
“Now more than ever, when times are financially tighter for so many families, we are proud to be offering incredible savings on hundreds of shopping essentials and big brand items.
“It’s great to be able to breathe fresh new life in to the empty store”.
Since its launch 18 months ago, the independent retailer has opened 60 stores UK wide.
The new brand is being independently financed and launched by Yorkshire father and son retail entrepreneurs, Christopher Edwards (36) and Christopher Edwards Senior. The successful businessmen were the original founders of former high street retailer, Poundworld Retail Limited before it was sold to American private equity conglomerate, TPG Capital in 2014.
Many of the former Poundworld staff who lost their jobs when the old Poundworld shop went into administration in 2018 have been given new employment at the brand new One Below store.
We’re pleased to have recently welcomed back some of our retailers, who have re-opened and been well received by our visitors. They have all been keen to re-open for you, but only as and when it was advised that it was safe to do so.
Our essential stores have been open throughout the Covid-19 lockdown (Asda, Savers, The Vet, Cockhedge Medical Centre and B&M Stores) and have all done a fantastic job, in what has been a very challenging, worrying and constantly changing time.
You will also notice new safety measures that have been put into place – to keep our visitors, staff and retailer staff safe:
Please adhere to these additional measures, as they are here for everyone’s health and wellbeing.
Below is a list of the stores that are currently open. Please contact them individually for any specific opening times or requirements. You will find their details on the Directory page, or via their social media pages.
Craft in Mind has been opened at The Cockhedge Shopping Centre by local craft and business owners Emma, Andy and Sandra. Originally, their idea was to establish a hub to be used during the Covid-19 lockdown – a place for people to donate food or craft equipment that could then be distributed to local charities and people in need.
It has only been open for just over a month, and already they have received so many donations from local businesses and residents! They have also been able to help and support many more families and individuals that may be struggling than they had originally envisaged.
Essential Item Donations
Donations include non-perishable food, clothing, toys and craft equipment, and as Emma has advised – “The feedback from people that we’ve helped has been amazing. From families needing new clothes as their children have grown, but they may have lost their job and so can’t replace items. To people picking up a craft magazine or activity pack free of charge to help with their mental health and wellbeing.”
Many local food retailers have been able to donate items for them to create essential food bags. Emma advised that help has been given by Asda at The Cockhedge Centre, Iceland and Savers, as well as individuals donating. So far, they’ve been able to support local organisations such as Room At The Inn, Hollins Park and Women’s Aid – as and when needed.
Craft Packs Helping with Mental Wellbeing
As well as helping with essential items their other focus is on mental health and wellbeing, and this is where the crafts have been popular. Much of their support is for people that have been self-isolating, and who maybe haven’t seen anyone for quite a few months. They have been speaking with them over the phone, a friendly voice to simply have a conversation with.
They have also been putting together craft packs for people to collect, or they have been delivering too to those who have to remain at home. These provide a fun activity, something to stimulate and work at – helping mood, mental health and feeling of achievement.
How Can You Help?
Craft in Mind do all this voluntarily, aren’t a charity and don’t receive any funding. The feedback has been so great, that they would like to continue their efforts to help support those in need across the community. If you can help, they are in need of the following donations –
You can drop off at the shop (where the old Scope shop was) or contact them via their Facebook page for more details. https://www.facebook.com/CraftInMind/
In line with government advice only shops selling essential items in the Cockhedge Shopping Centre will be open at this time to continue to service our local community. We encourage our customers to practice safe, social distancing measures at all times.

Our team at the Cockhedge Shopping Centre is closely monitoring the coronavirus situation. Our priority at all times is the health and safety of our customers and our employees, and we want to re-assure you that we are introducing new measures in line with advice from our local health authority.
We have already implemented an enhanced cleaning regime throughout the centre and we are also speaking with tenants to ensure that all hand dispensers are fully stocked with anti-bacterial solution. We encourage our visitors to follow the government’s advice to frequently wash their hands.
We are working closely with all of our stores throughout this challenging period to maintain our consistently high standards, and we will continue to follow advice from our local health authority and the World Health Organisation.
We’ve welcomed the opening of Angling Direct in February, with queue’s of almost 180 excited anglers with us from 6:00am waiting for them to open!
Angling Direct is the UK’s largest angling store, with retail shops across England. With everything the angler needs from poles to bait, clothing to accessories – and more!
For shoppers on the day there were goodie bags, expert advice and exclusive in-store offers available, and the Warrington area didn’t disappoint with Angling Direct advising us that this was one of the biggest new store openings EVER!
It’s clear that an angling store such as Angling Direct has been much needed in the Warrington area, as the support has been fantastic.
Its opening hours are:
Monday: 09:00-18:00
Tuesday: 09:00-18:00
Wednesday: 09:00-18:00
Thursday: 09:00-17:00

Situated outside next to The Vet and Xercise4Less, you’ll find everything you need for people looking to try angling for the first time, to the more experienced angler.
