SPECSAVERS Omagh has relocated to a prime retail unit at the Showgrounds retail park following a £400,000 investment which will see customers benefit from an enhanced experience and extensive facilities.
Since opening in 2007 with seven members of staff, the team has grown to 17, and the move will also see the creation of six new roles, including optical assistants, optometrist and call centre staff.
Three members of the team are celebrating being with the firm for its entire 15 years, including store manager and qualified dispensing optician Aileen McMahon, who began her career as an optical assistant.
The new-look Specsavers store has four test rooms fitted with the latest in optical testing technology, and includes a hospital-grade OCT machine. There is also a dedicated hear care room with hearing booth for audiology testing. This will enable the store to host additional clinics to meet patient demand.
Store director and optometrist Donna Harbison said: “We're proud to be marking 15 years of Specsavers in Omagh by officially launching our new-look store at the Showgrounds retail park.
“We are increasing our clinic capacity and also the services offered in store with our dedicated hear care room. We have always prided ourselves upon using exceptional technologies and through this investment have continued that commitment to testing our patients with the best available.”
Emma Finn, director and optician, added “It was a great source of pride for us to be able to serve the local community as we remained open as a point of primary care throughout the pandemic. Our move, the investment involved and the facilities available at our new store will ensure we continue to provide the best possible service to our customers.”
Emma and Donna are also directors of the Specsavers store at Strabane retail park.
