Jobs on the way for Oswestry as discount chain B&M moves in
A new discount store will open in Oswestry this month, bringing 80 new jobs to the town.
The new, B&M store is to take over the former Homebase centre on the Penda Retail Park on Salop Road.

Oswestry mayor, Councillor Peter Cherrington, will open the new B&M store on October 31.
He said: "It is good news that such a large retail until has been let so quickly after Homebase closed."
