A NEW bargain store will be arriving in Newton Aycliffe later this month – giving residents cheap food products and huge discounts.

After several high-profile retailers have left the town in recent years, a budget food store has stepped in to announce that it would be opening their second County Durham facility. 

Oops Food Clearance will open its doors on Thursday, February 24 in the former Argos store on Greenwell Road after signs popped up revealing the news earlier this week.

The food store, which already has at Dragonville Retail Park in the centre of Durham, have pledged to bring “the very best food at the lowest possible prices, sourcing our products from the world’s largest and best-known food manufacturers, we buy overproduced items and sell them to you at massively discounted prices.”

So, what can people of Newton Aycliffe expect? Oops Food Clearance have pledged that people can save up to 40 per cent on their weekly shop by switching to themselves.

With already eight stores across the UK, Oops Food Clearance have made some bold claims on the price of their products.

A spokesperson for the shop said: “We work with lots of the largest food manufacturing companies in the world. We snap up all their over produced food at massively reduced prices, repackaging it in our purpose built, temperature-controlled factory and selling it to our customers in the nicest shops with the friendliest staff at unbelievable prices!

“Many of our products were produced for leading restaurant and retail chains but, because of over production, packaging miss prints, Brexit red tape, business closures and impact of covid. we’re able to purchase this stock at rock bottom prices and pass these prices onto our customers.”
