Diamond Centre Manager, Gwyneth McQuiston said that she was saddened to hear the news of the imminent closure of Tempest “especially for all the staff who are affected and particularly at the height of the summer season when so many customers visit the centre”.
She added: “Tempest has been operating within the Diamond Centre for almost 12 years and the store will be missed.
“However as stated above, immediately on the heels of the bad news, three of the concessions have stated they will be remaining in Coleraine and that has to be welcomed.”
