The store is located within the existing Morrisons store in Lime Square, which has recently undergone a makeover, creating the space for the new 21,000 sq. ft. store.

More than 200 people turned up to see the store opening – the first shopper through the doors was given a bike and others were treated to special goody bags and offers to mark the opening.

The store’s mascot also made an appearance as well as the team from Key 103 who provided entertainment.

The Range is recognised for offering high quality products across a variety of departments, all at great prices.

Chris Dawson, the owner and founder of The Range said: “Opening a new store is always an exciting moment for the company and Openshaw is no exception. Although it is a new concept of store for us, I am certain that we will be able to provide our customers with an equal offering to other new stores.”
