Armagh 'Woolies' Site Lease Agreed
Best Property services have confirmed that the site of the former Woolworths, Armagh has been agreed for lease this month to discount retail giant Around a Pound.

News that Around a Pound will take over the store in the spring will bring a welcome boost to the area after a series of bad news stories and job losses as national and local firms struggle in difficult economic circumstances.
