Magherafelt Specsavers is 'cornerstone of community' as store expands with £100,000 investment

The directors of Specsavers Magherafelt say the completion of a £100,000 expansion earlier this year, reinforces its status as a cornerstone of the local community.

The expansion includes the acquisition of the floor above the store, enabling the creation of a new, state-of-the-art staff area designed to enhance employee satisfaction and efficiency.

The store lab where all glasses are glazed (made), has also been moved upstairs. The lab technicians have over 20 years glazing experience between them, and they now have a spacious, modern glazing facility.

Additionally, a newly refurbished office and dual test room have been introduced on the ground floor, ensuring a more streamlined and effective customer service experience for the local community.
