Boots expands with a new airside store at Belfast City Airport, marking its second airport investment in Belfast this summer
Boots has expanded its presence in Northern Ireland with the opening of a new travel store at Belfast City Airport, creating 13 permanent jobs.
The new airside store, located in the airport's Departure Lounge, officially opens on Wednesday, July 22 and will offer passengers a range of health, beauty, wellness and travel essentials before they fly.
The opening marks Boots' second airport investment in Belfast this summer, following the launch of its new "On The Go" concept at Belfast International Airport.
Travellers will be able to shop a selection of travel essentials, popular skincare brands including Byoma, Anua and Bubble, alongside Boots' own No7 range. The store will also stock the retailer's popular Meal Deals.
Julie Murphy, vice president of Boots' London & Travel Division, said: "We're delighted to be opening a new store at Belfast City Airport, further strengthening our presence in Northern Ireland and building on our continued investment across the region.
“We know convenience is incredibly important for customers when they're travelling, which is why we've designed this store to offer a carefully selected range of health, beauty and travel essentials, alongside popular skincare brands and great-value food options."
Caroline Rowan, head of commercial development at Belfast City Airport, added: "The arrival of Boots will be a fantastic addition to our retail offering, reinforcing our commitment to delivering a seamless passenger experience and making it even easier for passengers to pick up everything they need before they fly.
“As the UK and Ireland's most convenient airport, our partnership with Boots reflects our focus on creating an airport experience that works for everyone, ensuring our passengers benefit from a modern, relevant and suitable retail offering that meets the needs of today's travellers."
Boots said the investment forms part of its wider programme to enhance stores in key travel locations across the UK and Ireland.
The Belfast City Airport store will operate daily, opening from 5am, with closing times varying between 7pm and 8.15pm depending on the day.
