O’Loan welcomes Debenhams as further strengthening of Ballymena retailing

Ballymena SDLP councillor Declan O’Loan has welcomed the arrival of a Debenhams “Desire” store in Ballymena.

 Councillor O’Loan said, “I congratulate the Fairhill Centre on this achievement. The arrival of Debenhams is good for Ballymena. It increases the retail offer, and will attract more shoppers to the town. I greatly welcome the creation of 100 jobs.

 Retailing never stands still. Ballymena must keep developing. We must also keep our strong mix of multiples, local shops, shopping centres and high street shops.”
