Fifty jobs have been created in Newry with the opening of a new supermarket.

It's thanks to a two million pound investment.

The store on the Dublin Road covers 5,500 square feet and offers customers 60 parking spaces.

There is also a gourmet coffee offer, 'Frank and Honest' which is a range of fresh and healthy gluten-free foods, and salad bowls.

The new opening marks an expansion by retailers and brothers Michael and David Downey, who have also owned Supervalu in Hill Street for the past 15 years.

Michael Downey said, "Since our recent opening we have already had a great response from customers and it has created a buzz in the local area. We’re aiming to service the whole community with our ‘one-stop’ shop and I’m looking forward to introducing them to our new and inspiring ranges in a modern shopping environment."
