Dobbies to plant new store at The Junction

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Jim Montgomery has welcomed the announcement that garden centre retailer, Dobbies, is to locate their second Northern Ireland store at The Junction Retail and Leisure Park in Antrim.
 
The Mayor said; “

This is fantastic news for our local economy, after what has been a very difficult trading environment for retailers. With 150 new jobs to be created, it will give our employment opportunities a significant boost and bring much investment to the area. We are delighted that Dobbies has chosen to locate one of their largest stores in the UK here in our Borough and it is testament to the recent investment that The Junction has made to the area.”

 
The £10m investment in the 110,000sq foot unit will open in Spring 2023.
