Nevada Bob’s (Europe) Limited, one of the UK’s leading golfing retailers is delighted to announce the major expansion of its network through the opening of new stores in Scotland and Ireland.

The golfing retailer has signed franchise agreements with the Elverys Sports Group in Ireland and with Aspire To Golf Limited in Scotland.

The partnership in Ireland with Elverys Sports has so far involved the opening of two key stores in December 2009 with the rollout of several other Nevada Bob's Golf specialist stores within the Elverys Sports chain of stores commencing this year.

Aspire To Golf Limited has the franchise rights to the Aberdeen area which includes a superstore on Springfield Road and the retail unit in North East Scotland's premier golfing facility, The Aspire Golf Centre. Aspire To Golf Limited will continue its expansion by opening Scotland’s largest Nevada Bob’s store in Perth in February 2010.

John Duthie, Managing Director of Aspire To Golf Limited said “The partnership between Aspire and Nevada Bob’s will allow us to bring a new level of service and expertise to new areas throughout Scotland and we look forward to offering golfers of all levels our knowledge and support".
