Wallace Arnold Travel opens retail pods in Morrisons

Nine-branch travel agency Wallace Arnold Travel is opening six retail pods in Morrisons supermarkets.

The agency, part of the Specialist Leisure Group (SLG), which also owns Shearings Holidays, has already opened three pods, with three more to open in the coming weeks.

Those already open are in Brampton, Barnsley; Doncaster; and Pontefract.

A pod in Harrogate will open “soon”, followed by ones in Morley, Leeds, and Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, in the next few weeks. More are expected to follow in early 2020. Agents in the pods will take bookings for all SLG brands plus other operators.

Natalie Collins, head of retail at Wallace Arnold Travel, said: “These pods are a first for us and allow us to locate ourselves in areas where we know our business is strong and the potential to attract new customers is high.”

Wallace Arnold Travel has branches in Bradford, Castleford, Chesterfield, Halifax, Hillsborough, Huddersfield, Rotherham, Wakefield and York.
