A LEADING retailer has opened in the town after months of excitement.

The Range, a UK home, leisure and garden retailer, opened its brand-new store on October 11 at Maiden’s Walk, Hexham, at the former Marks & Spencer.

The new 22,000-square-foot store offers affordable products from home essentials and soft furnishings to pet items and this year's Christmas collection, offering a one-stop shop where the community can find everything they need under one roof.

Customers can also use the free Click & Collect service which allows people to order online and get what they need, with purchases available to collect in an hour.

Home delivery options are also available at therange.co.uk with over 140,000 products across a wide variety of departments to choose from.
