A MULTI-MILLION pound makeover for a superstore has given a big jobs boost to a Hampshire town.

More than 50 jobs will be created when Asda launches its new-look store in Fareham on June 29.

The store, which is also celebrating its 21st birthday, is in the final stages of the massive improvements which are costing £7.3 million.

A new mezzanine floor will house a massively expanded George clothing range, including the introduction of two new additions – Maternity and Petite.

The store’s café will also be relocated onto the new upper floor.

And the 24-hour Asda has carried out a large expansion in all ranges, including a brand new pharmacy, wider choices in food and general merchandise ranges.

The store’s general manager Mike Stafford said: “This has been such a big project and our customers have been really patient as we’ve worked round them to ensure that the store stayed open and caused minimum disruption.

“But I still think they’ll be wowed by the fact that we’ve actually managed to add on another brand new floor!”

He added: “I am really looking forward to unveiling our new- look store to our existing loyal customers and to welcoming new customers.

“I hope they will all enjoy the fantastic new features such as our fresh counters and George.”
