New jobs created at £250,000 West Bromwich store

One of the UK's fastest-growing retail businesses has pumped £250,000 into a new store in West Bromwich which has created 20 new jobs.

The Original Factory Shop, the chain of local discount department stores, will open the store, which will include an extreme discount zone, on Astle Park on Saturday.

The store will be officially launched by local dance troupe, Livingstone Dance Academy, who will begin a day of celebrations by cutting a ceremonial ribbon at 9am.

The troupe will perform a 20-minute set from 9.10am for shoppers. The store is opening in the former Next Clearance store.

Store manager Julie Osborne said: "There's a real buzz around town about the store opening. We're hoping that our blend of well-known brands and great value will make us a firm favourite with local and visiting shoppers alike."

Shoppers at the 12,300 sq ft store will find a wide range of men's, ladies' and children's fashions, as well as homeware, electrical goods and beauty products.

New deals will be introduced every week

The Original Factory Shop chain started in 1969 as part of Peter Black's selling surplus M&S stock.
