B&M Spokesperson: New Store Brings Jobs
The popular retailer's bosses expressed their enthusiasm for the upcoming store opening in Spindles Town Square Shopping Centre and confirmed plans to create more job opportunities in the town.
"We're feeling extremely positive about creating more jobs for local people, and we hope customers will be delighted with their new store. We are all excited to get the doors open and welcome new customers through the door," the spokesperson said.

Since its launch in 1978, the retail giant has gained popularity for its affordable brands, offering various products ranging from household items to groceries.
Boasting over 700 stores nationwide, the company employs more than 35,000 people and welcomes more than four million customers weekly. In addition to well-known brands, it also features limited edition collections and clothing.
Previous reports by the Oldham Times have highlighted residents' anticipation for the new store, with one local expressing excitement over the relocation, labeling it "great news."
This addition to the retail giant's local presence brings a significant economic boost, generating 25 job opportunities for area residents.
