Specsavers has moved just a stone’s throw away from its previous home to a much larger premises at 120-122 High Street and the store was opened by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Councillor Ken Wood. Those in attendance were treated to cupcakes and street entertainment throughout the morning.
The relocation comes on the back of demand for the busy community opticians – with the new premises, at more than double the size of the current one, enabling the team to expand their optical and audiology offering.
With nine test rooms, all situated on the ground floor for accessibility, this will result in a better customer experience and an improved working environment for the team too.
"We’d like to say a big thank you to the Lord Mayor who made time in his schedule to come along and cut the ribbon and celebrate with us - it was fantastic to welcome people through our doors,! says Shyam Unarkat, store director at Specsavers Kings Heath.
"Lots of hard work has gone on behind the scenes during the last few months so it’s great to finally be in.
"We had really had outgrown the previous store, so moving to our new site with so much more space is just what we need to continue providing our expertise to the community in the best possible surroundings."
The Lord Mayor was also keen to praise the new store, stating: "It was fantastic to see the new store and celebrate the opening with the community. It’s clear the team are passionate about providing the very best care to their customers and I wish them every success in their new home."
The team at Specsavers Kings Heath is headed up by store directors, Shyam and Sangeeta Aeitan, who together have 30 years’ experience.
‘Alongside providing a better environment for our customers, we wanted to create a better place to work for our team too, as our culture is something we’re particularly passionate about,’ adds Sangeeta.
