NORTHWICH'S new B&M store opened its doors for the first time today with a generous gift for Mid Cheshire Foodbank.
Roger Spurling, from the foodbank, was invited to cut the ribbon for the new store – which is at the former Marks and Spencer unit, in Leicester Street.
And following the foodbank's tireless work throughout the coronavirus pandemic and beyond, B&M handed over £250 worth of vouchers to the charity as a thank-you.
Jade Tench, store manager, said: "We’re feeling really positive about the creation of more jobs for local people and we hope customers are going to be delighted with their new store.
“We are all really excited to get the doors open and welcome our new customers this morning."
The new B&M, near Barons Quay, features a wide range of products from toys and homewares to groceries and pet supplies.

The two-storey, 36,000sq ft building was built in the 1980s and operated as Sainsbury’s before becoming M&S.
B&M also has a Home Store in Chesterway, near Lidl and Pets at Home.
