A new £1m Home Bargains shop is set to open in Leeds creating 75 new jobs.
The store will be based at Crown Point Retail Park and open at 8.30am on Saturday, January 23. The new Leeds branch will join over 500 outlets across the UK which sell a wide-range of household goods and treats.
Amy Kozlow, the new Leeds store manager, said: “It’s a huge honour to be opening our new Leeds store this weekend and one that I’m exceptionally proud to be part of.
“Having worked for Home Bargains for over seven years, in several different stores, this is certainly a special moment and one I’ll cherish.”
The new Home Bargains shop will be donating £2,000 to the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund which was established in 1988 to support the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit.
Over the past three decades, the charity has spent more than £7m supporting the Unit and families from across the region.
Andy McNally, Children’s Heart Surgery Fund’s marketing manager, said: “We are thrilled to receive this huge donation which will go directly towards supporting patients born with heart disease and their families.
"It’s thanks to generous local businesses like Home Bargains, we can continue to support hearts for life in our region.”
