20 pictures as Søstrene Grene opens at Rushmere Shopping Centre, Craigavon

A large number of eager customers queued round the block to be the first inside the brand new Søstrene Grene store as it opened at Rushmere Shopping Centre on Friday morning.

Craigavon is the fourth location in Northern Ireland for the popular Danish homewares brand.

Along with special treats for the first customers, the new store celebrated its grand opening with live classical music and its iconic brand ballet dancers.

After the ribbon was cut to officially open the store, enthusiastic shoppers enjoyed browsing the cosy interior packed with contemporary homeware, hobby items, children’s toys, soft furniture, kitchen accessories and much more.

Photographer Tony Hendron went along to mark the special occasion with this picture gallery.
