Beverley Travel is sticking by its vow to “sell its way out of trouble” with the launch of a third shop, and now plans to grow its retail network to five branches over the next 12 months.

Beverley Travel is hoping to expand to five shops within the next 12 months, co-owner Karl Douglas has told TTG, pictured with fellow co-founder Kelly Cheesman

Co-owner Karl Douglas told TTG that, barring any complications, the shop would open on 7 June in the town of Market Weighton – 10 miles west of Beverley, where Douglas and co-owner Kelly Cheesman opened their first store in 2020.

The branch will be named Wicstun Travel in honour of the town’s old English name, in line with the agency’s decision not to use the Beverley name when it opened its second branch, in Hedon, in June 2024.
