Speaking last week as greetings cards and gift shop The Card Factory upgraded its store and moved to a larger unit within the centre, its Manager Pamela Minford, said: “2022 marks a really exciting time for Castle Mall Antrim which has been on a growth trajectory since it reopened after periods of lockdown in 2020 and 2021.

“We are working hard to secure new tenants and revamp our existing offering to continue to attract new shoppers and keep them spending in the town centre.”

And, before Christmas, local restauranteur, Gerard McQuillan, launched Banh Boy Antrim, a Vietnamese style café and coffee bar and has proven to be a popular addition to the town’s food and drink scene.

Pamela Minford said: “It’s wonderful to see such commitment in the centre from our retailers and we are looking forward to working closely with them throughout the year.

“I’d like to extend a warm welcome to Veena and her team wish The Card Factory and Banh Boy Antrim continued success as they grow and expand,” she said.
