A NEW Home Bargains store will officially open in Newton-le-Willows this Saturday.

Up to 50 new jobs will be created at the store which is located on Haydock Street.

The £500,000 shop will be launched with an event which will feature a special appearance from Anna and Elsa – stars of popular Disney film, Frozen.

It will be the first Home Bargains in Newton-le-Willows, with more than 400 outlets across the UK and it will add to the existing Home Bargains stores in the borough at the St Helens Retail Centre and the Hardshaw Centre.

Joe Morris, operations director at Home Bargains, said: “We’re thrilled to be launching our first store in Newton-le-Willows and look forward to welcoming new customers through the doors.”

The 10,500 sq ft unit, which is a former Netto store, will offer shoppers a range of products, including homewares, health and beauty essentials, sweets, snacks and drinks.

Joe added: “Haydock Street will be a great location for us and we’re pleased to be a new addition to the local business community.

“We’re proud to be able to offer local people top-branded goods at exceptionally low prices.”
