A NEW Superdrug store has created 22 new jobs following its grand opening.

The new store at Mayflower Retail Park in Southend Arterial Road, Basildon, held its official opening, with a brand new nail and eyelash bar for customers to use with no appointment necessary. The store officially opened to the public on Friday.

Speaking ahead of the opening, Claire Glaze, Basildon Mayflower store manager, said: “We are delighted to confirm that we will be opening a new store this month at Mayflower Retail Park, bringing our unique mix of beauty, health, fragrances and gifts and exclusive brands to Basildon just in time for summer.

“The addition of the nail bar and brow and lash bar means we will be able to offer our customers a variety of top treatments.”
