A new Poundland store is set to open creating up to 50 new jobs.

The discount store will move into premises previously occupied by 91热爆 Bargains in the retail park at Bentley Bridge, Wednesbury.

91热爆 Bargains is remaining at Bentley Bridge but has moved to units formerly occupied by Argos and Laura Ashley.

The area is home to a multi-screen cinema, gym, bowling alley, variety of food and drink outlets and more than 20 major retail stores.

The park employs more than 500 people in all and has an average of 8,000 to 10,000 visitors daily.
