A PROPERTY letting company has announced plans to open six new Peter Rabbit and Friends shops throughout the Lake District in the next three years.
Lake District Estates Ltd made the announcement after former British Ambassador to Japan, Sir John Boyd, officially reopened the Peter Rabbit shop at Ash Street, Bowness, on Monday.
The shop has reopened thanks to Lake District Estates negotiating a new agreement with the Copyrights Group, which looks after licensing for the Beatrix Potter estate.
Sir John said: "Our friends from Japan play a significant role in supporting the Lake District tourism economy, and the re-opening of these retail outlets will provide more choice when they are visiting the area, enabling them to return with quality souvenirs to encourage others to visit."
