As part of the company’s expansion, Bookstation plans to create 12 new jobs across its new stores, contributing to local employment in the communities it serves. Further growth opportunities are being explored, with additional locations expected to be announced in the near future.
Bookstation, which was founded in 1990, has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by a combination of strong retail standards, customer-focused service, and a commitment to offering great value across its three main categories: books, stationery, and cards.
This growth reflects the company’s ability to meet evolving consumer needs, particularly in a time when affordability and convenience are increasingly important.
