Sandpiper-owned shop creates 13 new jobs
A new store, opening its doors in Douglas for the first time today, has created 13 jobs on the Island.
Apple retailer iQ is at Victory House on Prospect Hill, and stocks the full range of products from the technology giant.
It's owned by Channel Islands-based retail group Sandpiper, which also runs Card Factory in Strand Street.
