A hundred jobs are coming to Newport with the opening of a new superstore.

They are being created by Dunelm, the soft furnishings chain which is opening a new centre at Newport Retail Park next month.

Developments director James Rowell said: "Our new stores make a significant impact on local areas bringing large numbers of very welcome jobs, increasing footfall and in turn boosting local economies."
