The opening of Premier Forres just off the Moray coast marked store number 30 for Arul Palaniappan.
Shopfitters, Vertex, transformed the former Citroën showroom into a spacious retail outlet, illuminated by batten and halo LEDs.
Forres arrived hot on the heels of Arul’s stunning New Elgin Service Station, which opened in April, boasting an equally impressive array of fixtures and fittings.
The entrepreneurial retailer admitted to dragging his feet when it came to making the investment, knowing full well that it would be a costly affair, but he had no qualms about his development process. “If you’ve got a great recipe, just scale it up and make more curries,” he said.
