A NEW Boots store will open its doors at Leeds Bradford Airport later this month.

The new store, which will create around 12 jobs, will open in the Yeadon site’s Airside Departure lounge on February 22.

Boots is the first new national brand to be introduced at the airport for several years, and forms part of the airport’s overall terminal improvements taking place throughout the winter season in preparation for the summer.

Richard Aldridge, Leeds Bradford Airport commercial manager, said: “As one of the fastest growing regional airports in the UK, it’s imperative we offer a range of retail outlets for our passengers.

“In response to feedback from our customers, we are proud and pleased to see Boots opening their doors at LBA, introducing a new national brand."
