SPECSAVERS in Launceston opened its doors on Thursday, August 2 following its relocation to a new premises on Broad Street.

After the ribbon was cut by Town Deputy Mayor, David Gordon, and his wife Deputy Mayoress, Carol Gordon, the store saw an influx of new customers and curious people passing by.

The new central location to the town has helped business and the community, with a larger store that can accommodate almost all services on one floor.

The doorway has better access, particularly for wheelchair users.
