Hundreds queue for Wolverhampton TK Maxx opening

Hundreds of shoppers queued in the rain to be among the first inside Wolverhampton's new TK Maxx department store, which opened its doors today.

Bargain hunters from across the region descended on the new store, on the Bentley Bridge retail park, in Wednesfield. The company closed its city centre branch yesterday to move to the retail park. All of its 32 workers have been transferred to the new branch and 21 new jobs have been created.
