The new signings are Dolly’s Desserts, Urban Burger and Hidden Pretty Gifts and between them the new locations will create 37 jobs.
“We have chosen to continue our expansion at home in Barnsley, as we feel The Glass Works development is the perfect fit for our brand and how we want to portray our business moving forwards,” said Janine, who runs Dolly’s Desserts with her 21-year-old daughter Charlie. “It’s a fresh and exciting environment that is already attracting both young and old people back into the town centre.”
Mehmet Kent, who runs Urban Burger, and will create 25 jobs in Barnsley, added: “Barnsley will be our fifth store and it’s a big honour for us to be a part of The Glass Works development. As a local company, it’s great to have this opportunity and we’re excited to share our venue’s experience with locals.”
Daniella Monden from Hidden Pretty Gifts, said: “It’s great that The Glass Works is providing a complementary mix of national brands and bespoke independents – it creates a rich shopping experience and something for everyone. This will be our second store and will create two new jobs. Our first store has been trading in Wakefield for eight years and we’re looking forward to bringing our exclusive, stylish gifts to Barnsley.”
