New Home Bargains stores opens in Crewe

Today, saw the opening of a new Home Bargains store in Crewe. Opening day was busy, as expected, with long queues for the checkouts as the people of Crewe got to see the latest discount store open for business. 

Queueing times at the checkouts were 20 minutes in the morning, but quick thinking management were out to offer free sweets to the queuing public!

The new store is huge - reportedly the biggest in the country, which could mean closure for the other two branches, both of which are within a mile of the new store.
