DISCOUNT retail chain Home Bargains has opened its second shop in York.

The firm has opened in Foss Islands Retail Park, in the shop that was formerly Dreams.

As reported in The Press previously, the company has said the shop will create 50 new jobs.

The shop opened after City of York Council lifted an old planning restriction on the type of goods that could be sold on the site.

Home Bargains sells food, drink, cosmetics, toys and other items, and plans to more than double the number of stores it has over the next five years, taking it to around 700. The Foss Islands shop is its second in York, adding to the one it has at Clifton Moor.
