AN Asda store in west Belfast has reopened in time for Christmas following the completion of a £3 million extension.

The Asda Westwood store is now back in business following an extensive remodelling programme, which has resulted in the creation of an additional 7,000 sq ft of floor space.

The store has expanded into the adjacent retail unit to accommodate a new layout, wider aisles and additional display areas.

The George clothing, home and leisure sections have also been extended and revamped to encompass more floor space and offer ease of access for shoppers.

Store manager, Roger Croskery said:

“We’re delighted to deliver this bigger, new-look store offering an improved layout and better services to our customers – old and new – all in time for the busiest shopping period of the year."

The popular west Belfast store has been an established part of the local community since 2005 and employs over 240 staff.
