“As a sporting mad city, and county, I’m confident that Castore will be a fan-favourite among the shoppers of Leicester, and further afield. The timing couldn’t be more perfect, either, as the sun has finally started to reappear, encouraging people to get out and about for this year’s summer of sport.”
