AS Watson have announced plans to open 88 new stores across the country, which are in turn set to provide 1,000 new jobs. The company, who own Superdrug, The Perfume Store and Savers, plans to double-down on its positive financial figures in the midst of a challenging economic climate, with managing director Dominic Lai adding, “We are under a lot of pressure, with Brexit uncertainty and sterling going down, but we will continue to invest in the UK.”
