Popular greetings cards and gift shop, The Card Factory has upgraded its store in Castle Mall, Antrim, moving to a larger unit within the centre.
The new 3,215 square foot premises officially opened its doors on Saturday, January 8th, occupying a prime space in the town centre shopping mall.
Offering a larger range of greetings cards, celebration balloons and seasonal gifts, the new store signals significant investment by The Card Factory into the centre.
The Card Factory Area Manager, Val Irvine, is hopeful the new store will continue to be a popular attraction within Castle Mall.
“We have been trading from a small shop since 2014 and while we have enjoyed success there and built up a significant customer base, the relocation will enable us to grow this even further and offer our customers the full complement of our cards and gifts. All of our staff have moved over to the new unit and are enjoying working from a shiny new store in a prime location within the centre.”
The relocation news comes in what has been an exciting period of development for Castle Mall with a number of other openings recently announced.
Veena’s Brows and Beauty Bar is another new addition to the shopping mall offering a wide range of brow, lash and henna services. The walk-in beauty bar will provide high-quality treatments in a quick and convenient way, lending itself to lunch time pampering for local shoppers.
