Colleagues were asked to nominate a charity they thought deserved some VIP treatment. They chose the team from Tamworth Food Bank to take centre stage and officially unveil the new store.

The team will also receive £250 worth of B&M vouchers, which will help the charity continue its work.

The store manager said: "It was really exciting to welcome customers through the doors; the feedback so far has been fantastic.

"A big thank you to the team at Tamworth Food Bank who helped us open the store.

"We hope our donation can help them to continue to do the great work they do."

A spokesperson promised: "Customers can expect to find a wide variety of branded groceries for the best possible price including a range of food, drink, and pet food.

There will also be a fantastic selection of quality health and beauty products, homeware, electricals, DIY essentials, toys, games, gifts, and plenty more to explore.

The overall development will also house a Lidl, B&M, KFC, Starbucks, Greggs and Subway as well as Travis Perkins once complete and will be called the Tame Retail and Trade Park.

Lidl opened for the first time last month on Thursday, February 23.
