BAR CHAIN Loungers has begun recruiting staff ahead of its opening at the M&Co site in Llandudno later this year.

The chain secured planning to open a new franchise at the Gloddaeth Street site, with M&Co recently announcing their departure at the end of their lease this month.

Loungers had previously shown interest in the former Marks and Spencer store on Mostyn Street, before withdrawing interest.

A vacancy for an Assistant Manager role at the new restaurant has now been spotted on job site Indeed, with the role paying up to £29,000 per year.

The new tenants are set to create up to 30 jobs and invest around £1.25million into the site, but it remains unknown when it will open.

Loungers were approached for comment.
