DISCOUNT store Home Bargains is set to open a new shop in Warrington on Saturday following a £500,000 investment.

The company, which is one of the UK’s largest family-run retailers, is creating up to 50 new jobs with their latest store on Alban Retail Park.

It will be the third Home Bargains store to open in the town alongside outlets in Birchwood Shopping Centre and Riverside Retail Park.

Joe Morris, operations director at Home Bargains, said: “We’re thrilled to be launching our third store in Warrington and look forward to welcoming both new and existing customers through the doors.

“Alban Retail Park will be a great location for us and we’re pleased to be able to strengthen our position in the local business community."

At 15,000 sq ft, the store will offer shoppers a range of products including homewares, health and beauty essentials, sweets, snacks and drinks.
