Robin Newton MBE MLA

ROBIN Newton East Belfast DUP MLA, a member of the Assembly’s Enterprise, Trade and Investment Committee has welcomed the announcement of an additional four stores opening in Belfast’s flagship Victoria Square shopping centre. The brands, Hollister, Kurt Geiger, J Four and 7camicie are all trading internationally and have selected Belfast as a part of their expansion plans.

Robin Newton said,

“As these four new designer brand shops open their doors for business this investment, in a time of economic difficulty, will give a boost to Belfast’s and the overall Northern Ireland economy.

For these upmarket stores to invest in Belfast could be seen as a first sign of a recovery from the current economic gloom. These are retailers with an international presence and their business venture in Northern Ireland is likely to give confidence to others to follow in their wake.

Between them these four retailers have a total of around 800 retailing outlets across the world and their brand presence will give local shoppers just that little bit more “retail therapy choice”
