A leading UK superstore has announced the opening of it's brand new store in Reading this weekend.

The new B&M in Calcot, Reading is set to open it’s doors for the first time at 9am on Friday, July 1.

This will create 70 new jobs for people throughout the local area.

The store manager commented: “Our colleagues have been working really hard to get the store ready for opening day; we can’t wait to get the doors open next week and show customers their brand new B&M store.”

To celebrate the opening, the staff at B&M have nominated a charity that they think deserves the VIP treatment for the work they do in the community.

They chose the team from West Berks Foodbank to take centre stage and officially unveil the new B&M store.

In addition to opening the store, the team will also receive £250 worth of B&M vouchers which will go towards helping the charity to continue doing the great work they do.

Customers can expect to find an extensive range of branded products including toys, food & drink, pet range, health & beauty and homeware.
