EIGHTY NEW JOBS have been created at the new and bigger Carlton Supermarket in Black Rock.
Ahead of the supermarket’s official opening to the public today, managing director Andrew Bynoe said that 80 new employees would be added across the operation, moving the number of staff to 210.
The official opening was due to take place yesterday but was pushed back by one day to allow for final preparations. “We wanted to be sure we had everything in place, and we had a few technical glitches, so we wanted extra time to make sure that we are all set,” Bynoe said.
Yesterday morning and well into the afternoon, shoppers who were unaware of the change in the opening date had to be turned away. (LK)
