The brand-new store, based on Front Street in Pity Me, opened on Friday (August 30) with a special launch celebration attended by members of the local community.

The Framwellgate Convenience Store, which used to be a Premier-branded shop, has been completely renovated and freshly fitted out. 

The new convenience store will provide the area with products and deals on items people need every day.

Alongside well-known brands, the store will also stock a variety of One Stop’s own-label products including produce, meat, dairy, ready meals and desserts.

Customers can also take advantage of the lunchtime meal deal featuring a range of fresh sandwiches, snacks and soft drinks or stock up on grocery essentials or that missing ingredient for tonight’s dinner.
