Home furnishings retailer Dunelm has postponed the opening of its new store in North Staffordshire as a result of the lockdown.
Work to build the company's latest branch on the Wolstanton Retail Park, in Newcastle-under-Lyme, started in May last year.
The new Dunelm store is being built between the existing M&S and Matalan stores at the retail park, and around 50 new jobs are expected to be created as a result of the opening.

Work on the 22,000 sq ft store is almost complete after construction staff continued to work on the building throughout the pandemic.
But its grand opening has now been pushed back due to the current lockdown restrictions, meaning the store will not open next month as expected.
A new date for the opening is yet to be confirmed.
