A NEW Subway store has opened its doors to the public in Bere Regis.

Situated just off the A31 in Zelston, the launch will create around eight new jobs.

Operations manager Karen Evans said: “We are delighted to bring a Subway store to Bere Regis and it is ideally placed just off the A31 which enjoys a high volume of passing traffic. The fresh, modern interior complements the range of subs and salads we have on offer and we’re confident busy local people and visitors alike will enjoy the range of healthier lunchtime choices available.”

The opening is part of plans to unveil 12 new stores in Dorset, the South West and the Channel Islands.
