Specsavers opens its largest store in Wales at Haverfordwest
Specsavers has opened its largest store in Wales at Haverfordwest.
Following a £1.2 million relocation to larger premises in the Riverside Shopping Centre, the brand’s new state-of-the-art store has 14 test rooms, including two dedicated audiology suites, which means it is also one of Specsavers’ biggest stores in the UK.
Equipped with the latest technology, the premises will offer enhanced eye care, contact lens, and audiology services.
Andy Britton (pictured right), ophthalmic director at Specsavers Haverfordwest, said: “This substantial investment reflects our commitment to delivering world-class eye and hearing care to Pembrokeshire.
“Our larger premises will allow us to meet growing demand, introduce advanced clinical services, and provide a dedicated training facility for optometrists pursuing higher qualifications.”
The launch event on 16 December featured live entertainment from the Haverfordwest Male Voice Choir and was attended by several local mayors and dignitaries. The event also celebrated Specsavers’ community-focused work, which will include a series of fundraising and awareness initiatives in 2025.
The opening followed the addition of Wayne Jones (pictured left) as retail director to the Haverfordwest team earlier this year.
Deputy Leader of Pembrokeshire County Council, Cllr Paul Miller, said: “Specsavers’ significant investment is a strong vote of confidence in the future of Haverfordwest. The new store will be a cornerstone of our town’s ongoing regeneration, drawing businesses and visitors alike.”
