A HOUSEHOLD name store is set to open its doors at a new shopping centre in Maldon this weekend.

Home Bargains will be greeting customers on Saturday at 8am from their shop at the Blackwater Retail Park in The Causeway, Maldon.

The unit, adjacent to Aldi, Next and Sports Direct promises to bring up to 40 jobs to the district after Home Bargains invested £800,000 in the new store, pictured.

It will have 250 free car parking spaces and will offer shoppers a range of products, including homewares, health and beauty essentials, sweets, snacks and drinks, as well as fresh and frozen food.

Operations director Joe Morris said: “We’re thrilled to be launching our first store in Maldon and look forward to welcoming customers through the doors.

“Blackwater Retail Park will be a great location for us and we’re proud to be able to offer local people top-branded goods at exceptionally low prices.”
