The DUP representative said:

“The Boulevard has seen significant names moving on site over recent months and years, and the news that planning permission has been granted for a Starbucks Drive-Thru is another substantial boost for the centre.

This new coffee shop will see jobs created through the construction phase. Furthermore, when the doors open a significant number of jobs will be created for the local community to explore. This is a good news story for the area.

I am delighted that The Boulevard continues to grow in terms of its customer offering. The centre management must be commended for driving forward the ongoing transformation of this site. I know they continue to explore further new names to come on site, and this can only be good news for the local job market and for local shoppers.”
