£600K investment into Letchworth town centre
A Letchworth opticians is opening the doors to its new, larger premises, meaning the team can provide vital care to even more residents.
The store’s directors have invested more than £600,000 to relocate to 5-9 Commerce Way, Garden Square Shopping Centre, which is about four store fronts away from their current location.
The locally owned and run store will have three additional testing rooms for optics and double the amount of hearcare clinics that are run currently.
To mark the occasion, the team will decorate the store ahead of its grand opening day on Thursday, November 20, with a bake sale and raffle available to the community .
Proceeds from the day will go to the Garden House Hospice, whose services are available to people living in and around the Letchworth Garden City area.
The store is run by highly experienced Ophthalmic Director, Amer Choudhry, who is excited to be delivering care in the new, more spacious and modern environment.
Amer says: ‘We’ve been on the High Street in Letchworth Garden City for almost 21 years and we love providing care for the local community.
‘We jumped at the opportunity when a larger space became available as we already have such a high demand.
‘We are also really excited about being able to provide more hearing services as we will be doubling the number of our hearcare clinics.’
Anyone unable to visit the Specsavers Letchworth Garden City store unaccompanied due to disability or illness may be eligible to receive care at home via a team of mobile opticians. The Specsavers home visits service covers more than 90% of the UK.
