Mary Woods, Regional Manager for Boots in Northern Ireland, said: "We're very excited to open another new store in such a busy location, offering customers convenient and affordable shopping.

"We expect the opening to herald an eventful term of trading for our professional team and look forward to providing the expert services in our new store."

The new store means Boots operates 46 local pharmacies following the recent merger with Alliance Pharmacy, and 45 health and beauty stores in Northern Ireland, with its flagship store at Donegall Place, Belfast.
