Majestic Wine opens its newest branch in Trowbridge on July 30, offering free champagne and expert tastings. The retailer plans at least four more stores this year.
Majestic, the UK’s largest specialist wine retailer, will open its newest branch in Trowbridge on July 30. The store occupies Units 1 and 2 of the Old Town Bridge Garage on Wicker Hill, a former car showroom that has been converted into a 4,145 sq ft wine emporium. It sits near the River Biss, The Shires Shopping Centre, and several bars and restaurants.
Opening day customers will receive a free glass of Moët & Chandon Brut or Veuve Clicquot Rosé. The store will stock more than 1,000 wines, including a dedicated Fine Wine section with 72 labels, plus beers, spirits, low and no-alcohol options, soft drinks, snacks, and gifts. Majestic’s trained staff, all certified through the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, will host free tastings seven days a week at an in-store Tasting Counter.
The retailer also offers complementary services: free glass hire, bespoke wedding tastings, and a “No Quibble Guarantee” that lets customers exchange any bottle they do not like for one of equivalent value.
Online shoppers can order from the full range for free next-day delivery via the store’s electric van. Majestic’s “Shop Local” feature allows customers to order from the Trowbridge stock in real time, with home delivery or click and collect available within four hours.
The new store will support Majestic Commercial, the retailer’s B2B division that supplies wines to gastropubs, bars, and restaurants in Wiltshire. Majestic Commercial, named On-Trade Supplier of the Year at the Drinks Business Awards 2024, partners with more than 4,200 hospitality venues across the UK, including Manchester City Football Club, Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, and Lord’s cricket ground.
The Trowbridge launch is the first new store opening in Majestic’s 2026/27 financial year, with at least four more sites planned. The company has expanded steadily since its split from Naked Wines and its acquisition by Fortress Investment Group in December 2019. Since then, under former management reintroduced with Fortress’s backing, Majestic has opened more than 25 new shops and more than quadrupled sales in its Commercial division.
Elizabeth Newman, managing director of Majestic Retail, said: “Trowbridge is a location we’ve had our eye on for some time as part of our expansion plans, so we are delighted to be bringing our award-winning wines and expertise to the town. We know there are thousands of discerning wine drinkers in the local community – many of whom already shop with us in Bath, Devizes, Chippenham or online – and our new store will make it even more convenient for them to shop with us. We’re really looking forward to serving them in Trowbridge and helping thousands of new customers discover quality wines, beers and spirits they will love.”
