Empty shop taken over

A new shop has opened in Kidderminster town centre in a boost for the high street.

Women's clothing store Roman Originals has filled the retail unit left vacant when Tchibo left town.

German-owned Tchibo closed its store at the entrance to the Rowland Hill Shopping Centre in the town only a few weeks ago with the loss of five jobs.

The new shop has employed a manager and two part-time workers and is looking to take on more as trade grows.
