SPECSAVERS opticians is hoping to open two shops in North Yorkshire, creating up to 20 jobs.
The group is looking for sites in Whitby and Wetherby after recently opening a branch in Chester-le-Street, County Durham.
The move comes after Specsavers announced record results earlier this week. It beat growth targets, reporting a turnover of more than £500m.
Nationwide, the group is opening 40 stores this year, creating about 400 jobs.
Last year, Specsavers entered the designer frames market, an area the company is hoping to expand in the coming months.
