DISCOUNT chain Savers has created 12 jobs at a new store in Connswater Shopping Centre.

Savers Health and Beauty today opened the new 5,000 sq ft outlet, bringing the total number of stores in the north to 20, with four in the greater Belfast area.

Savers, which celebrates its 30th birthday this year, specialises in branded health, home and beauty products at low prices.

Laura McCarthy, senior property asset manager of Alfred Street Properties Ltd, owners of Connswater said:

“We are delighted to welcome Savers to Connswater Shopping Centre in what will be another great addition for the scheme just in time for the peak Christmas period. Connswater has turned a corner in the last year, offering a revitalised customer experience with a great selection of retailers to choose from.

“Since the opening of The Range in December 2017 we have seen footfall increase by 20-25 per cent and we are pleased that retailers like Savers recognise that this is an excellent shopping destination.”

Marie Graffin, Savers area manager for the north region added:

“This store will be a great addition to our existing three shops already open in Belfast. We have created 12 new positions with the store opening, which have been filled, and we are hoping that there will be more available in the future."
