Press release announcing that "Sainsbury's Chief Executive Justin King arrived in Northern Ireland today as the retailer announced the creation of 250 jobs in the new Bangor store and made a commitment to recruit at least 150 additional seasonal workers over the busy Christmas and New Year period in Northern Ireland.
The new store at Balloo Industrial Estate in Bangor is due to open in November and recruitment is already underway. The 35,000 sq ft store will be the supermarket's 13th in Northern Ireland. Sainsbury's also has two further stores in the planning process in Bangor and Derry/Londonderry. If these new stores are given the go- ahead it will take the number of people employed by Sainsbury's in Northern Ireland to more than 4,000.
As part of his two day visit Justin King took First Minister Peter Robinson on a tour of the Holywood Exchange store to brief him on the company's commitment to Northern Ireland, its colleagues here and Sainsbury's many local suppliers."
