B&M has opened its new store in Darlington.

The discount retailer has taken over the former BHS store on Northgate, which closed in 2016.

The company said the store would create 35 new jobs.

B&M already has another store in Darlington based on Meynell Road, which will not be affected by the new shop.

A spokesperson for B&M said earlier: “We’re feeling really positive about the creation of even more jobs for local people and we hope customers are going to be delighted with their new store.

“We are all really excited to get the doors open and welcome our new customers through the door.”
