Title: Opening of Uzi Sports in Birmingham
Post by: Uzi Sports on June 09, 2015, 10:04:36 PM
We are pleased to announce the opening of our new branch in Birmingham near the City Centre. The shop will officially be opened on Friday evening and all of you are welcome to visit the facility where we have state of the art 5 lane indoor school as well as Physio plus kitchen and huge dining area. The price to hire the nets are very reasonable. There is a Car park near the facility.
Until the end of June, all customers will get 10% off on our shop prices.

Bridgewater or Taunton would be good.  Minehead where I leave would be even better ☺.  I'll even apply to work in the store.

I'll still be visiting the Swindon store later in the year

Hey fella - have been flat out crazy busy since starting job in October, sometimes working ridiculous hours! But definitely would be excellent to see the shop - would be great to see all of you guys as well!
The nets are an awesome idea as part of your shopping experience and glad you've found somewhere you can set that up!  I fear you may still have some special bats to tempt me with but that's always been the same with your bats!
You will have to let me know what days you are there and I will see when I can drop in for an hour or two!   :D

I popped in yesterday to pick up some osm left handed uzi pads and gloves. The store has so much to offer and is great for the engaging cricketer. Plenty of bats to wield and swing around. We talked business, birmingham and life with a couple of people that walked in during the hour I was there. Excellent net set up, and a welcoming atmosphere around the store.

Picked up the uzi pro gloves and pads, excellent sizing and value, as not many do a genuine osm anymore.  Top feel and fit. Zan looked after me a treat and was delighted with the 10% discount on pads and 2x gloves.
Not too far from edgbaston if anyone is around for t20 or the ashes.

Thanks for your help @Uzi Sports.
Congratulations on the set up.

No, its called forward drive in Digbeth. I dont know one in Hockley? Which is more Jewellery quarter.
