A DISCOUNT grocery store chain is opening a new store in Newport next month.
Heron Foods, which has more than 200 stores, are opening their first Newport store, on Cardiff Road in Maesglas, on Monday July 15.
The addition will create more than 15 jobs, both part-time and full-time, and be part of a new build complex with ample parking space available outside.
Store manager, Matt Lee, who joined Heron Foods from Morrisons in February 2019, said: “I’d personally like to thank colleagues for their efforts getting everything ready for opening day and our new neighbours who have already shown support.
“The store will be a positive addition to the area.”
On the opening day, which kicks off at 9am, Heron Foods will be giving away more than 100 goodie bags worth more than £5 to the first customers that spend £5 in store.
They will also be dishing out vouchers can be redeemed in the first three weeks of the store opening.
