Another independent retailer chooses Chesterfield to be their home
RD Models opened its new store on Whittington Moor in Chesterfield this May.
They are the latest of a number of independent retailers and hospitality businesses that have chosen to open or expand their business in Chesterfield.
RD Models specialises in high quality radio control cars, parts, spares and offer repairs on site.
The owner, Dave Hanson, has had a love of cars since he was a young boy and had good memories of working alongside his dad building kit cars, and this year he decided to open his first store on Sheffield Road.
Dave Hanson, Owner of RD Models said: ” We are proud to call Chesterfield home – our lovely town is growing and expanding and we are excited to be part of this regeneration. The community of businesses and families on Sheffield Road has really welcomed RD Models and we are so grateful for all the support we have received.”
Since opening in May 2022, the store has received a wonderful response from people who are shopping local and is proud to be part of the independent scene in Chesterfield.
Dave added “There is such a diversity of wonderful shops on our doorstep and the Chesterfield community does an amazing job of supporting independent businesses like ours to keep the vibrant variety of shops available to us! With the Chesterfield Football Stadium, Northern Gateway and the newly opened Glass Yard on our doorstep, RD Models is excited to be part of the revitalisation of Chesterfield.”
RD Models also partners with the British Radio Car Association and Bakewell RC Car Club by offering a trackside shop at local and regional races and also sponsors the Notts and Derby Off Road RC racetrack.
