New budget chain store to open in Melton Mowbray town centre
A new budget chain store is set to open in Melton Mowbray town centre on Friday.
Poundstretcher is to operate from the Nottingham Street unit formerly occupied by the Original Factory Shop, which closed on April 4.
Doors open at 9am with the first 100 shoppers to attend receiving free goody bags from store staff.
Around 15 new jobs have been created by the venture in a timely boost to the local economy.
Andy Atkinson, chief executive officer of Poundstretcher, said: “Household budgets remain under pressure, so we are committed to expanding our store network and making it easier for even more people to access quality products at prices starting from only 69p.
"We’re thrilled to be opening in Melton Mowbray and can’t wait to welcome shoppers through our doors on Nottingham Street on July 10.”
The new Poundstretcher store will stock branded and non-branded bargains including clothing, DIY, gardening, health and beauty, home décor, snacks, storage, pet, sweets and drinks.
