A NEW menswear shop in Rawtenstall was officially opened by Burnley FC manager Stan Ternent.

The Burnley boss cut a ribbon at the Bellusci Uomo designer shop in Bank Street, accompanied by the owner Mario Bellusci.

Mr Bellusci, of Darwen, has moved into the town centre prime position after his shop in Ormerod Street, Rawtenstall, was ram-raided twice in a week. Mario said: "This is a real success story considering I was left with nothing after the ram-raids."

In September he plans to extend the range into ladieswear upstairs.
