A Rivergate Shopping Centre business celebrated their recent expansion making them one of "the largest stores across the west of Scotland".
Specsavers in the Irvine shopping mall welcomed people from across the town to view their new look shop last weekend.
As previously reported, the expansion, part of a £350,000 investment in the town centre, sees the shop have nine testing rooms, a dedicated room for fitting and checking contact lenses and two dedicated audiology testing rooms..
This investment will also make the Irvine store one of the largest Specsavers stores located in the west of Scotland.
It will allow both the optometry and audiology teams to increase capacity for local customers and further reduce waiting times for key health services.
Specsavers have also taken on five new team members as part of the expansion including two new optometric assistants, and two dedicated optometrists.
The Irvine store is now a dedicated audiology hub which can provide key hearing care support such as hearing tests, wax removal services and support with fitting and repairing hearing aids.
New audiology director, Jayne Vallance, has also joined the team to lead this dedicated service in store.

Lynsay Dunlop, optometry partner at Specsavers Irvine said: ‘As a key part of the town centre, we’ve always strived to provide the very best service we possibly can for the eyesight and hearing of the people of Irvine.
"With this new expansion and investment, we’re hugely excited to be able to offer even more to help reduce pressures on local health services.
"By adding new testing rooms and a dedicated contact lens space, we are now able to offer more eye tests each day and with our new audiology hub, we can now provide additional audiology clinics every day of the week, giving more customers in Irvine access to our audiology services.
"I hope we can continue to invest in our store for the people of Irvine and offer the best possible customer experience to all who visit our team in store."
Jayne added: "We’re hugely excited to be launching the store’s new dedicated audiology hub right in the heart of the Irvine town centre, providing the local community access to our professional expertise and services for all your hearing care needs."
