A MAJOR retailer has opened a massive new store near Glasgow, creating multiple jobs.
Toolstation, one of the country's main suppliers of tools and building supplies with over 550 stores, has unveiled its new shop in Coatbridge.
The move has created seven new roles for the local community and staff will be on hand to help customers by providing expert advice and reliable service.
Do-it-yourselfers, tradespeople and the like can get their hands on products from big brands such as Milwaukee, Makita, Wessex, Leyland and more.
Store manager Daniel Cerretti said: “We are thrilled to have opened the new store in Coatbridge, helping support local tradespeople, DIYers and home builders with tools and more in the Lanarkshire region.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
