Disney Store has revealed plans to open in Canterbury city centre - and it is looking for enthusiastic staff to join its team.

It is recruiting various people for the new shop, known as “cast members”, who will be greeting customers and keeping the children entertained.

At the moment Disney is on the hunt for a store manager, assistant store manager, senior cast members, lead cast members and normal cast members.

Unfortunately it looks like the store won't be a permanent fixture in the high street and instead is just a pop up.

And it is not yet known exactly where Disney will set up shop, but Kent Live understands it is set to take up the former Build a Bear unit in Whitefriars.

A spokesman for the shopping centre said: “Discussions are in place with both Disney and a number of other retailers for this unit on a temporary basis and an announcement will be made in due course when a deal has been finalised.”

Disney Store Canterbury is likely to stock all of the main ranges including Disney, Marvel and Star Wars. The toy section will be made up of a huge range of merchandise including dolls, action figures, cuddly toys, play sets, vehicles, games, puzzles, outdoor toys, bath toys, stationery, pretend play and nursery toys.

Most Disney Stores sell clothes too so this one will probably have some items such as baby clothes, t-shirts, trousers, pyjamas, underwear and slippers.

An advert on the Disney jobs portal reads: "Disney store, which debuted in 1987, carries high-quality products, including exclusive product lines that support and promote Disney’s key entertainment initiatives and characters from Disney, Pixar, Star Wars and Marvel.

"Disney store offers a magical shopping experience that can only be delivered by Disney, one of the world’s largest and most successful entertainment companies.

"There are currently more than 240 Disney store locations in North America; more than 40 Disney store locations in Japan; two locations in Shanghai, China including a flagship; and more than 70 Disney store locations in Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom."

Disney has been contacted for comment.
