Whaley Bridge store manager, Kelly Rudyard, said: “The team from Blythe House Hospice really stood out for us as they go the extra mile for the local community.

B&M is one of the UK’s fastest growing retailers and customers can expect to find a wide variety of branded products including toys, food and drink, homeware, pet products, health and beauty and seasonal ranges.
The store, occupying a new retail unit adjacent to Tesco at Bridgemont, will also boast an extensive DIY, decorating and furniture range, as well as its own fresh and frozen food department.
Kelly added: “Our new colleagues have been working really hard to get the store ready for opening day.
“We can’t wait to get the doors open and show customers their brand new B&M.”
High Peak Borough Council approved plans for the new retail unit back in February 2017.
