300 jobs promised as Boundary Mills opens new store

FACTORY outlet firm Boundary Mill has pledged to bring more than 300 jobs to Rotherham with the opening of a new £5 million store.

The company, which runs four other outlet stores around the country, plans to spend £5 million refitting the former Big W unit at Catcliffe, which has been vacant since 2008.

A spokesman said that the move would create 78 full time jobs and 277 part time jobs.

Boundary Mills offer branded goods at discount prices, including ladieswear, menswear, homewares, gifts, books, DVDs, arts and crafts and perfume and cosmetics.

The new operators hope that the store will open at the end of August 2012.
