Tyrone Firm Creates 183 New Jobs

Newell Stores Limited, a Tyrone based family-owned company, has announced the opening of its second supermarket located in the town centre of Coalisland. The new 25,000 sq ft supermarket will create 150 jobs and, as a direct result, will enhance the Dungannon store with a further 33 jobs through restructuring.

According to Newell Stores Director Colin Conway, the £8.5 million investment in the development - supported by Danske Bank and the owners of Newell Store - is a vote of confidence in the Coalisland area and the investment that the town was lacking.

"The opening of our new store will be a welcome boost for the Coalisland, creating 150 jobs in the area," Mr Conway said. "This is also a major step for our family business, which has been built up over the generations and established an excellent reputation in Dungannon."

The new supermarket will contain everything from its own in-store butchery to fruit and vegetables hand picked from the markets. The new Newell Stores supermarket will service Coalisland and the large surrounding hinterland.

The new supermarket will open from 11am Wednesday 6th March.
