Co Antrim: M&S takes on 25 new employees as it announces date for reopening of store
M&S has announced its Aldergrove store is to officially reopen next month following a major transformation.
The store, which is set to expand by 50% following the extension into the neighbouring service station unit, will welcome customers from 9am on Thursday, October 8.
It will offer more than 2,000 additional products, alongside a refreshed layout and a number of new features, including a larger in-store bakery, upgraded coffee-to-go facilities and a frozen food range for the first time at Aldergrove.
The shop will also feature additional self-checkout tills and continue to offer its Click & Collect service. The expansion has seen 25 new employees join the Aldergrove team, with onboarding and training ongoing ahead of the reopening.
To celebrate the reopening, Percy Pig will be on hand to officially cut the ribbon. The first customers through the doors will also receive a complimentary tote bag, while stocks last.
David Brady, M&S Aldergrove store manager, said: “We're delighted to announce that we'll be reopening our doors on Thursday 8 October and can't wait to welcome customers back into the transformed store.
"The team has been working hard behind the scenes to get everything ready, and we're excited to share the renewed store with the local community.
“The investment has created a bigger, brighter store with more of the delicious M&S Food our customers love, while continuing to deliver the great quality and trusted value they expect from us every time they shop.”
