Ragazzi to open on Hope Street after regeneration support
.jpg){kind=link}
Wrexham menswear retailer Ragazzi plans to open its new Hope Street premises to the public on Friday 23 October, after receiving support through the Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns programme. Wrexham Council says the move has been supported by a regeneration grant and a loan from the Development Bank of Wales. The business’s owners told the council that the funding helped make purchasing premises for Ragazzi possible.
Move and funding details
- Planned public opening
- 23 October 2026
- Reported local project spending
- More than £75,000
- Individual grant and loan amounts
- Not stated in council announcement
What the funding figures show
More than £75,000 was spent locally as part of the project, according to the council, with local contractors securing work. That is a statement about project spending in the local economy, rather than the amount of the public grant. The announcement does not state the grant or loan amounts, or the total cost of the move. It therefore does not establish how much of the project was paid for by either funding source.
Moving within Wrexham
Ragazzi first opened in 1993 and moved to Eagles Meadow in 2011. Its next move takes the business to Hope Street while keeping it in Wrexham’s centre. The council announcement gives 23 October as the planned public opening date. It does not publish an opening time.
Background and supporting figures
Where this sits
The council’s more-than-£75,000 figure is local project spending, not the grant amount.
The planned Hope Street opening follows an Eagles Meadow move in 2011; the announcement does not show a new business being created.
