UP to 20 new jobs are being created at Glasgow Fort with the launch of a new branch of Specsavers.

The optician is opening a brand new store at the Fort, as part of a £500,000 investment.

The launch, later this summer, will feature a 20-strong team of staff.

It will have six test rooms and a dedicated contact lens department.

David Quigley, store director for Glasgow Fort, said: "We're delighted to be adding to the Specsavers offering in Glasgow by launching the new Glasgow Fort store.

"We're committed to providing the residents of the city with the best optical service around.

"And we have one of the strongest offerings in the area when it comes to optical and hearing services.

"Our new store software is very clever kit and has a real wow factor for customers.

"It's a quick and easy process which ensures a perfect fit every time.

"We look forward to announcing details of our opening celebration soon."
