Employment boost with latest venue launch at retail and leisure centre
At least 30 jobs are being created in Barnsley as Superbowl UK prepares to launch in The Glass Works development.
The Glass Works, a new retail and leisure destination at the heart of Barnsley town centre, will be opening in phases over the coming months.
The Glass Works Square opens on 9 September and Superbowl UK aims to open its venue in early October. Cineworld’s state-of-the-art 13 screen multiplex will begin operating early next year.
Superbowl UK is now looking for a mix of full time and part time staff to run its 10-pin bowling and family games centre, which will also include SEGA Prize Zone Amusement Arcades and bar, and Crazy Club Soft Play.
Superbowl UK marketing spokesman, George Smith, said: “The fit-out is progressing really well and we’re now looking for energetic and enthusiastic people to join the team.
“There’s a variety of vacancies available, ranging from venue managers to welcome hosts, cleaners, technicians and team members. We invest in both our team and the unique environments we create.
“Superbowl UK is really pleased to help create local jobs and over the next few weeks, as we put the finishing touches to venue, we’ll also be using local tradespeople and suppliers.”
Plans are under way to host regular community and cultural events within The Glass Works Square – such as performances, food festivals and the return of Bright Nights in November.
It will also be home to Barnsley’s Covid memorial sculpture, which received approval earlier this summer and celebrates the unsung heroes of the pandemic.
The first new openings, which will take place on 9 September, will see Next, TK Maxx and Sports Direct (with USC) unveil their Barnsley stores, with recent signing Flannels anticipated to open very soon.
The Fragrance Shop, another addition to The Glass Works, will officially begin trading on 24 September. The Fragrance Shop is the UK’s largest independent fragrance retailer and has more than 200 stores across the UK.
