Dobbies has officially opened its largest ever store at The Junction Retail and Leisure Park in Antrim.
The 110,000 sq ft flagship store is the retailer’s second venture in Northern Ireland and has created 120 new jobs, making it one of the largest employers within the Antrim and Newtownabbey borough.
In addition, Dobbies has partnered with Musgrave NI, a retail and wholesale business, who will supply a specially curated range of Dobbies’ 3,539 sq ft food hall including Signature Tastes, Donnybrook Fair, Happy Pear and Frank and Honest Gourmet Coffee.
As the largest store in the retailer’s UK portfolio, it offers outdoor and indoor plant areas, gardening products and seasonal items; pet, gift and toy departments as well as cookshop and home décor; a food hall, a Little Seedlings children’s soft play area and new restaurant and coffee shop, serving breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.
David Robinson, CEO of Dobbies, said: “I’d like to share a huge thank you to everyone who has been involved in this project. It’s been amazing to see so many colleagues from across the business supporting the local team, and we’re proud to have created so many jobs in the local area.
“I’d also like to thank everyone from the local community who has been so helpful and made us feel so welcome. We hope visitors to The Junction enjoy this fantastic Dobbies’ experience and we look forward to building on the strong relationships with our Junction neighbours and the wider Antrim community.”
