A discount retail store that sells off surplus food and products at low prices has re-opened following a renovation - look inside.

The Company Shop on the Pattinson Industrial Estate in Washington has re-opened it doors this week (September 24) following a "complete re-fit".

The new-look store, which first opened its doors in 2018 and has saved over 19,000 tonnes of surplus stock going to waste is one of 14 across the country - with one being on Haughton Road in Darlington.
