New £1 discount store opening in West Bromwich
A new discount store will open up in West Bromwich tomorrow, creating 30 jobs.
One Below, which sells items for £1 and under, is opening up at New Square Shopping Centre.
The chain has already opened stores in Wolverhampton, Walsall and Merry Hill.
It has further plans to open five new stores in the West Midlands next year, creating a further 150 jobs.
Christopher Edwards, 37, managing director of One Below Retail Limited, said: "We’re delighted to be opening a new store in West Bromwich.
"We are the only store on the high street to sell over 5,000 items for £1 or even less.
"Now more than ever, when times are financially tighter for so many families, we are proud to be offering incredible savings on hundreds of shopping essentials and big brand items.
"It’s great to be able to breathe fresh new life in to the empty store."
The company was launched 18 months ago and has now opened up more than 60 stores in the UK.
The brand was launched and financed by Christopher and his father Christopher Edwards Senior, who are businessmen from Yorkshire.
They were the founders of the former high street retailer Poundworld Retail Limited before it was sold to American firm TPG Capital in 2014.
