FASHION retailer Bench has opened a pop-up store at The Outlet in Banbridge creating 10 temporary jobs.

The UK company, founded in 1989, trades globally offering lifestyle clothing for men and women with designs including the iconic Bench hoodie.

Outlet centre manager Chris Nelmes said: “Bench is the perfect addition to our existing fashion and lifestyle brand offering and will complement our existing fashion retail mix. The arrival of Bench is sure to please shoppers in the run up to Christmas and beyond that, with fantastic savings to be found in store.

“In early 2017, we look forward to welcoming more new brands to The Outlet, further expanding our consumer offering in the lifestyle and fashion space.

“Our footfall figures show that thousands of shoppers and visitors are picking The OUTLET to shop, eat and have fun with their families over the festive period and we are making sure that we can attract them back time and again with further investment and new openings.”

Bench has 23 stores in Britain and Ireland and 55 across the rest of the world.
