Discount retailer opens in former Wilko store today creating 30 jobs

A fast-growing retail chain opens at a former Wilko store in the Black Country today, creating 30 new jobs.

Discount retailer One Beyond has taken over the branch in Dudley market place, one of the collapsed chain's largest stores.

The company said it had made a 'six-figure' investment in the 52,000 sq ft premises.

The retailer has already taken over the former Wilko store in Coventry, and in October it revealed it was looking at the possibility of taking over 50 former Wilko branches.
