Bargains on the Beach in Blyth
Shopping got a little more convenient for local residents following the opening of a new store last Thursday.
The new One Stop store, in the centre of the South Beach Estate in Blyth, opened its doors with the promise of being ‘the best for customers in the neighbourhood’.
The One Stop store will serve the households in its surrounding area, in addition to the local nursery and primary school. The well-known convenience store is open from 6am till 11pm, seven days a week.
The store’s arrival was also a welcome development for its staff, who were facing the prospect of losing their jobs after the Londis store originally on the site closed down. However, their positions were safeguarded when One Stop bosses hired them to run the new store.
Facilities on offer for customers include a free-to-use cash machine, E Top-Up, National Lottery and PayPoint, in addition to a dedicated parking area to the front and rear of the store.
Paul Robinson, Store Manager said:
“We’re delighted to have opened the store. Our long opening hours, coupled with fantastic daily offers will ensure we have something for everyone.”
“The One Stop chain offers great value and great customer service and I am confident my team and I will be able to bring that and more to local people”, he added.
The One Stop store chain has an enviable retail record and operates stores across England and Wales – many of which serve the needs of small urban communities. The chain employs more than 7000 people across its operations.
