Bobby’s of Bournemouth to create 260 jobs


The iconic Bobby’s of Bournemouth is set to create 260 jobs when it reopens, developer Verve Properties has announced.

Across the venue’s various features – including the beauty hall, ice cream parlour, food and beverage outlets and loading dock – the headcount is expected to continue to grow as more elements open up through to 2022.

Former Debenham’s staff who worked at the central Bournemouth location are being given priority consideration to potentially be employed by Bobby’s.

Ashley Nicholson, director of Verve Properties, said: “Bobby’s has historically always been at the heart of the town centre and the community and so we’re truly delighted to be able to bring a good news story of job creation to our high street when so many retail areas across the UK are in decline.

“We can’t wait to recruit a crew who will help us make Bobby’s part of a town centre that really does serve the local community.”
