15 jobs created at new Lincs supermarket brand

Fifteen new jobs will be created at a new supermarket which will open its doors in Boston this month.

mint is set to open opposite the former Morrisons premises off Horncastle Road.

The new store will officially open on the Boston Shopping Park on Saturday 27th May, and there will be a special recruitment day before then to allow workers to apply for the new jobs being created.

The recruitment day will take place at Fydell House on South Street, Boston on Wednesday 10th May from 10am until 2pm.

“mint is a new concept in supermarkets, offering a British aesthetic and high-quality branded products at an affordable price,” said David Lambert, operations manager at mint.

“mint saves the shopper from having to visit two or three stores to get their big weekly shop. It’s all under one roof: meat, bread, cakes, dairy, British brands and alternative brands.

“Shoppers will be able to find all their favourite brands at mint, such as PG Tips, Paxo, Cadbury, Aunt Bessie’s, Colman’s, Hellmann’s and Heinz. But directly alongside these we will also stock more affordable alternative products and goods.

“Fresh local produce will also be one of our strong points: at mint you’ll be able to buy high-quality local cheese, meat, bread, fruit, vegetables and dairy produce.

“In fact, shopping at mint gives people choice and real savings, something we all are looking for.”

Lambert said mint is looking forward to meeting its future employees at the recruitment day.

“We want to open up these opportunities to as many people as possible, which is why we decided to hold a recruitment day.

“We’ve had an encouraging response to our initial advertising for staff, but we still have 15 positions to fill. We will shortlist and interview people as part of the open recruitment process on Wednesday 10th May.

“If you think you’d like to work in one of Lincolnshire’s most exciting new businesses come along to Fydell House on 10th May and talk to our team about what we can offer.”

Lambert added that the opening of the Boston store is just the beginning for mint.

“This company has big ambitions and we’re delighted to open the first of a planned chain of stores across the UK in Boston,” he said.
