Henderson Retail Invests £5m In Three Coleraine Stores
Henderson Retail has completed the renovation and conversion of a former Spar store on Millburn Road in Coleraine into a new EuroSpar community supermarket.
The 25-week project has increased the store size by 50% to 4,000 sq ft, added around 2,000 new lines and has created eight additional full-time positions.
This project completes a trilogy of major developments in the Coleraine area, following the openings of Spar Castlerock Road in 2022 and EuroSpar Mountsandel last year, which marked the area's first EuroSpar.
These three extensive refurbishments represent a £5 million investment by Henderson Retail in the Coleraine community, creating 31 new jobs across the locations.
Millburn Road store manager Siobhan Honeyford, who has been with Henderson Retail for nearly 17 years (she began her career at the former Spar site in 2008) said: "This development provides us with the facilities to bring even more choice, value, and local offerings for our shoppers in Coleraine. We have extended our range of food to go with a new Delish food to go counter, featuring a range of hot food and introducing a new chicken bar and additional Barista Bar Coffee machines, providing our busy shoppers efficient grab and go options.
"Over 75% of our range of fresh foods is sourced from local suppliers, and we now have even more fresh products including The Kitchen range of pre-prepared meals ready to take home to heat and eat, locally produced in Randalstown.
"Our bakery range is even more extensive, with delicious fresh bakes available every day. All of this is complemented by our new butchery counter operated locally by Higgins & Sons from Castlerock, which has been sourcing fresh meat and poultry for customers since 1971."
The new EuroSpar features a stand-alone Post Office counter, employing two new team members.
Mark McCammond, retail director at Henderson Group, added: "Our EuroSpar stores are built with the local customer in mind, and we know our Coleraine shoppers value choice, fresh and local products, and great service. Millburn Road has been built to deliver on those needs."
